I just won a prestigous award, should I update my EA school?

Hi guys,

well it’s not really an award. I don’t really know how to explain it, but basically a heavy focus of my common application is on journalism, and I was just selected to cover a really prestigous/important event as a journalist. Do you think it’s worth it mentioning this to my EA school? And how should I do that? Thanks guys :slight_smile:

What’s the harm? Any significant honor, if it is that, especially in your field, is worth updating.

Yes, I think this warrants an email to the regional AO who will read your app.

@jym626 Thanks for your input. How would you suggest I convey it to the admissions office? :slight_smile:

@Lindagaf oh mmhm, I’m not very sure who is my regional AO actually… is there a way to check? Alternatively, should I just email the school’s admissions office? thanks :slight_smile:

Given your user name, probably no big shock if I suggest you look up the regional reps at Harvard. And cc the general admissions office email.
