If 94.2% of students are successful at maintaining the scholarship, then yes, I think it is realistic for you to as well.
Not quite sure what you want us to say lol, you have the best info right there! Perhaps you can reach out to other students in previous years who've received that scholarship to hear what their opinions on the requirements are?

That's a good idea. Yeah I just wasn't sure how difficult it would be--like I've heard medical school is very difficult, and maybe 94% did maintain it, but students with the scholarship have more pressure to perform which might in turn lead to them being successful. Ofc I will try my best in medical school, but I wasn't sure if that kind of pressure might be negative. On some School X. vs. School Y threads I've seen some cases where people favor the more expensive school for P/F, so that's just where I was coming from

What happens if you lose the scholarship? I mean it is not like you will be kicked out of school, right? I think 94% odds is about as sure as you will get in medical school. If they are offering you the scholarship based on your merit in undergrad, you should assume that you are qualified and can reach their standards. The only reason I would worry is if it is a "diversity" scholarship where it is not selected purely on merit. But with a 94% success rate, it sounds like even in that hypothetical case, they know what they are doing when they pick students for the $$$.
It's merit, so that definitely makes me feel better. It's THE biggest factor in deciding between schools for me though and I'd basically choose it for the cost so if I lose it...it would be really feels bad haha
I just saw your signature...your LizzyM is ridiculously good...you obviously are very above average in terms of academic ability. Being in the top 60% at a top school like OSU isn't guaranteed, but having the option to maintain a 85 or above in place of top 60% is nice. What is the school your are deciding between?
I haven't narrowed anything down yet so I'm not really sure, you can dm me if you wanna know the specific schools!
