Thanks for sharing, you have a strong profile and should be competitive for these programs. Focusing on telling a compelling story that differentiates you from your peer set will go along way in making you successful in the application process. Now with regards to scholarships, as you already know they are very difficult to receive at top programs and depend on many factors. Your profile is competitive but don't necessarily put you over the top for the scholarships

Helps!
