Adding Awards and New Extracurriculars?

<p>Hello,</p>

<p>I have recently joined the theater/forensics program and the Mock Trial team at my school.</p>

<p>I have made the Mock Trial as a varsity, which is the first time that a first year student has done so. We are a state-level team.</p>

<p>In my first theater competition, which was last week, I received an award and qualified for a state-level competition.</p>

<p>Although these extracurriculars are relatively new, I severely lack awards in my application. Luckily, I think they reflect my interest in public speaking. Should I email the colleges that I've applied to and update my resume?</p>

<p>You might want to call the schools and ask if you can submit that information as an addendum to an already submitted resume, or as supplementary to your app. Overall, I think the activities won’t make or break your app, especially because you’ll only be varsity for a semester until you graduate (right?), but it’s still worth giving it a shot :slight_smile: </p>

<p>*Also, I’m not too sure about this, but you may be able to get your GC to put something on your mid-year report about the EC’s. Still, safest bet is to call the school’s admissions offices (they don’t bite), and ask them what they recommend you should do. Best of luck!</p>
