I won an award after I submitted the Common App!

<p>Hello everyone,</p>

<p>In one of my essays I talked about an 'academic experience' I had -- model legislature. I won a state award for it, but I had already submitted my common application a few months ago to meet the EA deadlines for another school, so my application has no mention of the award. </p>

<p>I would mention that I won the award in my actual essay, but it disrupts the flow of it. My question is, can I write a small footnote at the bottom of my essay document (under the completed essay) where I mention that I won the award?</p>

<p>Same question. Anyone have an answer?</p>
