I still like putting I was a sterling scholar on my resume. Makes me feel good. That portfolio was a ton of work no doubt, but it was a good experience. Enjoy the interview and don't worry about whether you win or not. Life isn't about winning awards its about learning. Sterling scholar is a good learning experience no matter how far you make it.

Oh and just a friendly bit of advice. College is a lot more difficult
