Danforth Scholars Program

<p>I'm curious as to how much does the washu admission officers hold the nominator's nomination because I've been told that it acts as your "recommendation letter." But I barely know my senior counselor and she barely knows me. And she only knew this program because I told her. How is that regarded? (the nomination's letter). </p>

<p>Hi, I was admitted ED, and I am applying for the Danforth. As far as I know, my nomination did not factor into the admissions decision. I don’t think the undergraduate admissions officers are the same people that read the scholarship applications. </p>
