Do colleges care about commended status? (Read disc please)

<p>I got a 203 on the PSAT this year and 97% overall percentile...and I'm 100% sure I got commended because 55,000 students get recognized out of about 1,500,000 junors yearly...which means approximately 3.667% of the top PSAT takers are awarded.</p>

<p>So as of now I'm confident that I got commended status.</p>

<p>But I digress, my main question is, do colleges care about commended status, if you took your time to write it down in the "award" section of your college apps?</p>

<p>I am sure they do- whatever distinguishes you from others matters.</p>
