<p>I was elected as Varsity Swim team captain (right after I sent out my ED Vanderbilt application). Should I bother e-mailing admissions and asking them to update my application? I feel like this is kind of important and really adds to my well-roundedness.</p>
<p>I would, it shows leadership. This didn´t just happen because you joined swim team senior year. You were elected because of your hard work over last 4 years. You should also let them know if wond any state or national swim competition.</p>
<p>Better, can the GC send this out? Makes it official and offers the chance for a comment.</p>
<p>My GC refuses to help me really because I’ve bombarded her so much these past 2 months and she’s already sent her letter of rec and has 650 other students to deal with. Would it be okay to just e-mail the admissions office? If so, what would I say?</p>
<p>Then, perhaps the coach or someone else can send it. It’s curious the GC won’t. If you really have bothered her too much, you will need to step back and take a hard look at your app- maybe there is enough in there already?</p>
<p>I don’t understand this. Your guidance councelor is supposed to provide GC yet it seems like I’ve heard of so many who don’t (mine included).</p>
<p>sooo would it be dumb of me to email the admissions office informing them of my new role as captain?</p>
<p>Just call the college and ask. If it’s possible you did bombard he GC- don’t end up doing this to the college. Just some friendly advice.</p>
<p>No, YOU email the school. You don’t need your GC or coach to contact the school over this. That’s not the protocol. They are not asking for verification. They expect a senior, who is almost an adult, to contact the school to let them when something has changed.</p>
