<p>I was nominated for the Presidential Scholar Award, should I update Harvard? The nominations are based solely on SAT/ACT scores, so would it be repetitive to send in my SAT score, and then tell them that I was nominated?</p>
<p>i've heard some ppl say the program itself notifies all colleges...not sure tho</p>
<p>Schools can tell by your score and many also check the government website where all nominees are listed by state.</p>
<p>is this only for US citizens?</p>
<p>a guy at my school who's SAT score is 10 points lower than mine is on the list, but i'm not... (i'm a permanent resident though)</p>
<p>That application was so disgusting that I refused to apply.</p>
<p>flutterfly, yes, according to the eligibility section of the website, it is limited to U.S. citizens.</p>
<p>oh :(
Why was the app disgusting?</p>
<p>I was nominated for this, and also am a National Merit Finalist. I let all my colleges know that right away. Even if they do already know, which they might not, it won't hurt, and it might just reemphasize your interest (though I'm not very interested in Harvard :P).</p>
<p>I agree, the app was a little icky, and locked my essays on the website before I was done proofreading. Especially crappy was the "receive by" date instead of the usual postmark date. Oh well.</p>
<p>Lol, it WAS disgusting, haha. So long. Eww. Hopefully lots of people were turned off by the length, hence giving anybody who bothered to apply an inherent advantage ;-) lol. </p>
<p>Anyway, I'm not telling Harvard about Presidential Scholars or National Merit... they don't really define who I am, and probably don't say much about me as an applicant either. I mean, come on, my SAT scores are high, OK, I can handle the coursework, blahblahblah. Seems like adcoms are much more interested in knowing what else I have to offer to the college.</p>
<p>How should we let colleges know? E-mail? Letter? Phone call?</p>
<p>"<a href="mailto:fileroom@fas.harvard.edu">fileroom@fas.harvard.edu</a>" Is the address that whoever responded to my e-mail recommended I use for Harvard. </p>
<p>I e-mailed all my other colleges, and they said they would to add the information to my file.</p>
<p>well i updated harvard cuz my nomination was for pres scholar in the arts, so that has nothing to do with high test scores.</p>
<p>It's repetitive. Alot of harvard applicants and accepted students are ps nominees. In fact, three of my roommates and I were nominated to apply for PS.</p>
