How difficult is it to get a Marshall scholarship?

I’ve been reading up on Marshall scholarships and people who receive a 3.25+ and beyond generally have an edge for that scholarship.

Do you know people who have received this scholarship? What was their gpa? Is it common to receive that scholarship provided you have a solid gpa and good EC’s?

I’m deciding between UCLA and USC and I want to make my final decision soon. I’m leaning towards UCLA since there is about a 7k differential between the cost of UCLA/USC for me in terms of tuition since I received a grant of 18k at SC.

If this scholarship can give me a free ride at USC, I’d say SC would be a better choice for me.
