<p>Don't worry, it's nothing serious. My Mock Trial team has recently been on fire--we're going to the NJ state semi-finals in March. Do I tell my RD colleges about these successes? If so, how? I spent almost 4 months preparing for it (it's also dipped my grades considerably, but I'm not mentioning that) and it's starting to pay off in spades. We're the first team in our county's history to get this far, and we show no signs of stopping now. Plus, our team is only 4 years old. I would like colleges to know where my thoughts and passions lie, but I'm not sure whether this counts as supplemental, whether it is too late to send it in, etc.
What do you think?</p>
<p>bump...it's a serious question that I have. We're apparently in the top 6 teams out of around 400 in the state.</p>
<p>If it's important for you, write a brief letter about it. If it's just too late, they'll only ignore it, so you have nothing to lose, right?</p>
<p>(by the way... I'm in a similar situation)
(Edited: mispelling error! =/)</p>
<p>Definitely, my senior daughter recently rec'd a note from the head of her school's college counseling department giving tips to seniors who were waiting for RD responses. One of the tips was to keep the colleges up-to-date on any significant achievements post-application. Not only will this make them aware of your latest achievement but it will also reaffirm your interest in the school.</p>
<p>A short letter would probably be appreciated, and, if not, it won't hurt!</p>
<p>Also, how's the best way to write the letter: handwritten, printed without a signature or printed with a signature? Sorry for asking such a dumb question...</p>
<p>printed, with a signature. Why on earth would you want to send an unsigned letter? :confused:</p>
<p>I just emailed my colleges with updates. I got some nice responses, too. Worked for me.</p>
<p>Unsigned = just a printed name, printed by the printer (wow! haha), like "John Smith"
Signed = signed by yourself, as if it were a document</p>
<p>some things are pretty obvious, but you need to hear someone else telling you to do them, or else you don't feel so confident... This is driving me crazy. Thank you, mikemac. Thanks, waterbed (nice name!).</p>
