<p>...and two of my apps have already gone out. AARGH. I just remembered. And those two were Yale and Princeton. I meant to add it onto my resume / academics honours list, but I forgot! And it's important, as well, since it's about me being judged "Brain of <my school="" name="">!"</my></p>
<p>What DO I do?</p>
<p>IF the award is s uperlative where other students are voted in other categories...like most likely to succeed..then I wouldn't worry. If it is something very serious just send a quick email and ask them to attach your email to your file...they have no problem doing that. Anytime you have something new to add to a file they are happy to accept credentials in this way.</p>
<p>I dunno, but did any of your recs mention the award? If yes, then not putting it on the app won't really matter much.</p>
<p>No one got voted for "brainy" awards. They got voted popular and beautiful and all that.</p>
<p>"Brain of <my school="" name="">!" will sound like a silly award, at least to a US admissions officer. It may be meaningful in India, but don't expect people to value it in the US.</my></p>
<p>It's a superlative, hence I've heard it's actually something you shouldn't include on a resume.</p>
<p>Thank you :).</p>
