Formally, only one pull request is required. But we do take into account your total contribution, and communication with the community. Also, you should be aware that the pull request for eligibility has to be to the sympy repo (as opposed to Gamma or Live or csympy), if I remember correctly.
Unfortunately, there is no way to guarantee acceptance, because there are factors which are simply out of your control, such as the applications of other students, the availability of mentors, and the number of slots that Google gives us. But if you want to do best, I just point you to my blog post which I linked to in my previous message to this thread.
