Commended National Merit Scholar from CA

We forgot to mention this as an award for all the EA schools plus CalPoly plus UC. It probably doesn’t mean much for some schools, but the ones that give merit would consider it, perhaps? Is there even a way to edit the UC app?

Advice?

From the UC Website:

You can log in to your application to review and, if necessary, update your telephone number, email, mailing address or various test scores. You can also apply to additional campuses if they’re still open.
If there are changes to other sections of your application:
Minor changes to your activities, awards, volunteer work or employment are unlikely to have an impact on your admission decision.

That said, the UC’s do not recognize National Merit so it is a very nice honor but I do not think it will tip the scales.

For Cal Poly SLO, you cannot make a change to include the honor.

Thank you! I feel better, so we’ll continue emailing private schools. We are not putting much hope with CalPoly anyway.
