Becoming a presidential scholar is by no means easy, but if youve been the top of your class in high school, isnt it only right to be the top of your class in college. Having this honor on your resume will definitely open doors for you later in life, and the networking opportunities youll be provided are priceless. Because it truly is about WHO you know NOT what you know, dont let unrealistic people tell you anything different. And college is the time to be finding those WHO you knows, and building respect within whatever field you choose. The presidential scholars program definitely includes the WHOs to know, I guarentee that.
 
It should be something all bright students should at least try for, the worse that could happen would be a denial. So what, you wouldnt have lost anything, you'd still be in the same place. Nothing venteered nothing gained. 

The opportunity to work along side some of the most brilliant minds, is the most awesome opportunity.
