I won an award AFTER I submitted the Common App

<p>I submitted early applications to three schools for a November 1st deadline a few days ago. But afterwards I found out I won an award, and it's not on my application. What should I do? Do some colleges have a way to update that sort of information on their website when you log in to check the status of your app? Should I try contacting the admissions office directly to let them know about this additional qualification?
Thanks for your help!</p>

<p>How big is the award? Unless it’s a really big/prestigious award, I don’t think it will make a significant difference on your application.</p>

<p>Yeah, it’s a significant award with a monetary prize. I think I’ll just call them to let them know.</p>

<p>Calling them is right. They may ask you to send in the info- which will then go into your folder.</p>
