Anyone with experience know if admissions will weigh anything towards EA decisions if a student who received an email to apply for Leadership Scholarships DID NOT proceed to submit the essays/fulfill the next steps?

USC does not track interest but curious if, like UMiami, if a student tapped to apply for a Leadership Scholarship DOES NOT proceed in applying for them, if it hurts their chances in any way of receiving a favorable outcome regarding admission to USC.

Long shot of a question but if anyone has any theories or a crystal ball into what admissions will do in this situation please respond. Of course, following through and applying for the Leadership Scholarships is the way to proceed to “leave no doubt” but based on the criteria for particular Leadership Scholarships and the outcome of only 2 people being awarded these niche awards the likelihood of receiving the awards is slim.
