How hard is it to get a scholarship?

I commented my stats on your other thread (I’m an Artist scholar).

Without knowing more about your ECs/awards there’s really no way to say whether you have a shot at the Richmond Scholar, which objective stats don’t matter as much for, believe it or not. You have to meet a certain threshold (which is different for each designation), but they’re really looking for exceptional talent/skill and success in an area (like math or music).

You may have a shot at the presidential scholar, but the scores and GPA for that tend to be very high. A 32 ACT and 3.65 unweighted are a bit low for the presidential based on the students I know who received it. Stats matter most for the presidential scholar.
