<p>Okay. First of all, if you are a Presidential Scholar Candidate, should you update the colleges you have applied to and tell them this? By the time semi-finalists roll around decisions will already be out. So is it worth telling them you're a candidate?</p>
<p>Second of all, if so, how would you go about doing this? Email them? Send them a letter? Just flat out say, "I'm a Presidential Scholar Candidate."?</p>
<p>You could just send them a letter saying that you applied and wanted to update them on some recent accomplishments. I sent a letter to all of my CommonApp schools because I sent my first CA out in October and since then we have held elections for many of our clubs.</p>
