Your chances of getting the scholarship are ZERO … if you don’t apply!

I understand your reasoning regarding your math score, reading your post, I had almost the same thoughts.

There are two comments in your post that I think are more important than the math score (which is already critical!) - and that is regarding your ECs: “leadership in virtually every academic club in my school” and “nothing too distinctive”.

The PS program looks more for depth in your personality & accomplishments! Not many ECs, but few with a lot of committment! If you can show this in your application & interviews, then you might have a shot at the scholarship despite the 650 in math, as GPBurdell pointed out - if not, then your chances really are close to zero …

Good luck!
