<p>I know it's really late in the admissions process but my school's Mock Trial team just advanced to state and I thought it'd be nice to mention it to them. Is anyone else still notifying them of stuff like this? Is it advisable></p>
<p>That really isn't a "big enough" update. </p>
<p>But I do know of people who sent in entire new essays and more teacher recommendations with their mid-year report....</p>
<p>If this was an individual accomplishment, you should send it, but since it's a team at the STATE level....it doesn't really matter. Unless of course you're a political science major and had debate as a big aspect of your app (like an essay devoted to it). If that's the case, tell them...</p>
<p>Disagree, send it; give the adcom all the ammo you can to speak on your behalf. Let him/her decide if it isn't important.</p>
<p>thanks for the input guys.</p>
<p>MzLover, what do you mean by it's only a "state level"</p>
<p>If you're in a state level, then you definately should send it in... i bet if you only put national level awards, you'd have zero </p>
<p>state levels are great</p>
<p>Seriously though, I doubt that award will change their minds about whether to accept you.</p>
<p>Send it by all means.</p>
<p>I wrote a new 500 word essay about internships I picked up and competitions I won and all that. The best way to get them to read it is to have your GC call up admissions and make a statement about the update on your behalf. Attach a cover letter summing it up and send it in. The more they open your file the better. And if you're on the fence in committee, it's just the thing they want to see. Not only that your team got to states, but much more the fact that you had the initiative to write them a letter to try and improve your chances.</p>
<p>Anyways, wouldn't you always wonder if a little update letter could have changed things if you got rejected come april?</p>
