It's not necessary to have a 'successful' (by that I assume you mean a merged) PR to become a part of GSoC, though its good to have that. Basically, we need to be sure about you being good with the theory behind the project (may reflect in your former work and proposal), and that you know atleast the fundamentals that are needed, like git and the basic SymPy workflow (pushing commits, adding tests, PEP8 conventions etc). You obviously can learn these during the GSoC/Community bonding period, but knowing them beforehand is a sure plus. However, SymPy does require you to atleast have a PR in the pipeline to be considered for selection as a GSoC student.
