<p>I just found out that I'm a candidate for the US Dept of Education's Presidential Scholar Award (one of 3000 across country--only 141 actually "win").</p>
<p>Is this something I should tell the schools I've applied to?? (all are LACs, so every credential should help). </p>
<p>If so, what's the best way to send an application "update" such as this? An email? To whom?</p>
<p>Do adcoms receive lots and lots of "updates" from applicants? I assume this is a good way to express my continuing interest in their school?</p>
