<p>I recently sent in my application, and realized I forgot two minor things to put on my application. One was National AP Scholar (something they'd probably deduce from the number and scores of my AP's) and the number of points I've garnered in debate. Is it worth it to send them an update? I really don't want to annoy them :P</p>
<p>No, it’s not worth updating Admissions for those kind of things. It’s not that you would be annoying them, it’s just that minor awards will have zero impact on your application. Every year 12,000 students receive a National AP Scholar award, so in the big picture, it’s not that extraordinary and Princeton can deduce the fact from the number of your AP’s. Likewise I imagine with the number of points garnered in a debate. You should save updates for big-ticket items.</p>
<p>On a similar note, would something like winning a team state championship in a sport (+ individual award) be worth notifying admissions?</p>
<p>If you are applying to Princeton as an athletic recruit, or if you hope to walk-on in your sport, then yes, notifying Admissions of your team state championship is something you should do. You should note: (1) your specific contribution to your high school team, and (2) your desire to walk-on to Princeton’s team. A copy of your note to Admissions should also be sent to the Princeton coaches of your sport. If you are NOT seeking to play your sport in college, updating Admissions really doesn’t have any bearing on your application, as Princeton will be looking at your application for its academic potential and promise.</p>
