The Presidential Scholars Scholarship (PS) is very competitive and students are recognized as candidates in their admissions letter then are required to interview for the additional funding ($11,000) on top of the $13,000 that is awarded with the Honors at Entrance Scholarship.

With that said, candidates are usually in the top 5% of the application pool regarding their GPA and standardized scores with additional factors such as academic rigor and extracurricular involvement considered. As pointed out on the website, the PS scholarship candidates usually have around a 3.8 GPA with equally competitive test scores ([Scholarships | Saint Mary’s College](Scholarships | Saint Mary's College))

I hope that sheds some light and helps a bit with this situation.
