Samuel's points are all correct. I'd add that the application process, where you have to write out exactly what you are going to do, and the schedule for doing it, can help a lot. Breaking the large task down into smaller parts will give you a much better idea of how easy (or not easy) it will be to do. I don't see projects fail from lack of skill; when projects fail it's almost always because the student fell behind for a week or two and then never quite catches up. If you can make a schedule and stick to it for everything you know you can do, it will pass. Get an application together and put it in for feedback, and see where it goes. If this isn't for you, the application process will tell you that better than anything.
