<p>So from now until the RD deadline, is there anything that deferred SCEA people should do? Yale said to send any new information in, but can I send in "old" information that I failed to include on the app I sent in? (Like an award/honor I didn't list.)
And how would we get information across to them? since I'm pretty sure calling them wouldn't be the best idea :/</p>
<p>thanks!</p>
<p>Snail mail them a note. But honestly, some small award isn’t worth mentioning.</p>
<p>I was curious as well…
If you do end up sending some sort of note, what are you allowed to say? I think I heard something once, on CC, about a letter of commitment or something, but I could very well be wrong. I just want to do as much as possible while I’m deferred, which is a bit of a paradox considering we really can’t do much.</p>
<p>Are we allowed to change anything in the original application at all? Like the essays for example?</p>
<p>My idea of the whole subject is this. I am not an expert, but here it goes:</p>
<p>Allowed:
Letters of recommendation (supplemental)
Midyear report grades (automatic)
Significant awards (or developments in a EC, like a leadership position or advancement in a competition)
Significant new ECs (such as new job, working with Principal on grading policy, or more volunteerism)
Awarded scholarships
Basically, an updated resume</p>
<p>Don’t Send:
Minor awards
Another/replacement essay. There is a reason they only ask for two.
More than 1 supplementary rec
new answers to short answer questions or “Why Yale” question</p>
<p>Be careful:
Supplemental material (research project, art portfolio, etc.)</p>
<p>^Very nice post wrightm. And I completely agree with the list.</p>
