Informing Harvard of New Award

<p>How should an EA applicant go about telling Harvard about a Model UN award received just this weekend? I believe that the only tangible proof of the award I have is the plaque itself. Any suggestions?</p>

<p>Just email that you got it. You don't need actual proof of it. Honors system. Just don't start lying about stuff, LOL.</p>

<p>Any particular e-mail address, maybe for my region of the country or my last name's section of the alphabet or something?</p>

<p>Just write the financial aid/admissions office one. It's on the website for Harvard.</p>

<p>haha i think itd be funny if you sent them the plaque.</p>

<p>then again i have a really bizaare sense of humour</p>

<p>LOL, that would be funny.</p>

<p>Should I just use the generic e-mail form on the website or is there a specific e-mail address I can send it to?</p>

<p>email it to <a href="mailto:college@fas.havard.edu">college@fas.havard.edu</a> with "UPDATE" as the subject headline. If you know the name of the person who's reading your application, put that name on the subject line too.</p>

<p>Thanks JCR.</p>

<p>I would consider faxing a letter to the admissions committe, and also sending a copy of it by snail mail to the admissions office. I always think a hard copy to go into your file is a good idea--my son sent a couple of his updates to his EA application that way. Of course, you never know if they will see this new stuff, but I do know that this is done all the time. And if by some chance you are deferred, then you know there will be that letter in your file for the next go round.</p>

<p>I would fax it as well.</p>

<p>I thought you were supposed to mail in any changes to the Common App. I would assume another award is an addition to the Common App...</p>

<p>did u get it from the w&m conference? i got a gavel there this weekend.</p>

<p>Did you get it from the RUMUN conference? I was at that conference this weekend. =P</p>

<p>AquaRocket - Yeah I was at RUMUN. On the UNDP. You?</p>

<p>I was on the Eco/Fin Committee... wow... what a small world...</p>

<p>what is RU? rutgers u? w&m was a blast.. maybe ill see u guys at ilmunc(upenn mun)</p>

<p>Yeah, it was Rutgers Model UN. Unfortunately, we're not going to ILMUNC this year. =(</p>

<p>Ha I just express-mailed an update letter detailing some recent stuff including my award at W&M last weekend. small world indeed.</p>
