<p>In mid-February I went to a competition and my team won, and now we get to go on to state. Also, I got a job a few weeks ago.</p>
<p>I apparently was dumb enough to not send Yale an update the second we won our competition and the second I got my job. Would it look bad to send it now, almost a month later? Or would it be better to just leave it be? I'm so dumb -__- fail.</p>
<p>Just send it!</p>
<p>Agreed with thomasrosal, I heard that updates get your application looked at again, and though it may just be like another skim through your file, it could just be worth it.</p>
<p>yea but wouldn’t it look bad sending an update a month late? Kind of shows laziness</p>
<p>Maybe because it is 
But trust me, I wouldn’t reach that conclusion so quickly if I were an adcom. There can be a number of reasons why an update came late, what if you gave a credible one that doesn’t sound like a white lie? </p>
<p>Or best of all, don’t say a thing, and send it. The last thing it could do is overturn an ‘admit’ decision if its (hopefully) already been made.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>I agree with leo118, you’d might as well send it!</p>
<p>might as well lol…whats the e-mail?</p>
<p>What kind of updates are worth sending? My counselor said that it is pointless to send awards unless they are significant like winning an international competition or getting a paper published in Nature. She also said it could harm your application b/c they would be annoyed. Is there any truth to this? What do you guys think?</p>
<p>@sunshine02, I’ve heard the same too, but don’t know if it’s true. I’d say use your best judgment - even if it’s not an international award, if it means a lot to you, maybe it’s worth sending?</p>
<p>I never got any big awards like that. My updates consisted of me qualifying for a state snare drum solo, making the district honor band, and advancing to regional history fair. I figured, why not? I doubt it could hurt THAT much.</p>
<p>What’s the email to send? I can’t find it</p>
<p>I sent an email to my interviewer who then forwarded it to my regional admissions representative. My friend and I did this for several schools and got replies (Harvard, Stanford, etc.), except from our Yale rep.
I met our Yale rep at an info session and he didn’t seem like the type of guy to reply to that sort of thing, but I think it still is worth it to send.</p>
<p>can someone please tell me the e-mail lol. I want to send it ASAP</p>
<p>^Send it to your regional admissions rep. I’ve been doing that, but tbh, I heard that wasn’t recommended and to send it to the general admissions Yale email. I’m sure it’s on their site. I don’t have it on me, sorry.</p>
<p>You have to send it to your regional rep… it won’t be the same email for you as it was for me unless we live nearby.
You can get this email three ways: 1) from your guidance department, or 2) from your Yale interviewer, or 3) from Charlie the Unicorn… but I wouldn’t count on that last one.</p>
<p>LOL, I just sent them at apply.questions(@yale.edu)</p>
<p>I thought we were supposed to fax them - maybe I’m wrong, but didn’t someone on CC say that we shouldn’t contact regional reps w/ updates?</p>
<p>To find out your regional officer, use this: [Staff</a> | Yale College Admissions](<a href=“http://admissions.yale.edu/staff]Staff”>Connect With Yale Admissions | Yale College Undergraduate Admissions) Scroll to the bottom of the page and you’ll find a menu there with various places and, after clicking your particular region, the name(s) of your regional reps!</p>
<p>And I called Yale around a month ago wanting to confirm some documents I sent them. They referred me to my regional rep (who replied promptly), so I doubt contacting them will place you in any trouble.</p>
<p>yea on website says to fax rather than email regional representative. Thank you guys for the help. I’ll most likely be faxing Monday morning. Last heave of desperation :)</p>
