<p>does anyone know that if you are nominated to be the yearly presidential scholarship candidate, your chance of getting in Princeton increases?</p>
<p>I knew that. But it’s not causal.</p>
<p>Also I doubt you would have a good chance of getting into Princeton based on your inability to ask a coherent question.</p>
<p>The art/music kids were NOMINATED, the other 2000 were INVITED based on the highest ACT/SAT scores in their state and they probably applied to Princeton also.</p>
<p>So I would swagger to guess that the only ones with a leg up are the art/music kids. But either way…congrats for being a candidate for the Presidential Scholars Award.</p>
<p>Saying you are a presidential scholar just reiterates the fact that you got a high SAT score, so I would guess that it in itself does not increase your chances of admission to Princeton. Congratulations on becoming a candidate though, I am a candidate as well.</p>
<p>I don’t think it inherently increases your chances. All it means is that you scored really high on your SAT. </p>
<p>I scored a 1590 :(.</p>
<p>I don’t think being a <em>candidate</em> increases your chances, since as others have already said, it is merely a reflection of your SAT score. I think ultimately being one of the 141 presidential <em>scholars</em> would, but unfortunately, that comes out after college decisions have already been made and therefore would also have no effect.</p>
