Agree about how difficult some of these schools make it to get a scholarship. Even for highly qualified applicants, you have to try for several because the odds are so low and each may be looking for something different. Some have very early application dates (Emory Scholars) and several have overlapping, manditory interview days (Emory, WUSTL & Michigan). Although the schools must abide by the May 1 deadline for kids to commit, by having interviews at the same time, they are essentially making the kids make a decision earlier. Although my D knew it would help her show commitment by applying to several of the WUSTL scholarships, she only ended up doing one because she was so tired of writing essays.
