<p>I called Harvard yesterday and they said that they are "in the middle of admissions decisions".</p>
<p>Let's say an applicant were to update them with a good award/achievement. Is there a chance that if they decided the applicant were to be rejected already, but receive the "good award", they will re-consider the application?</p>
<p>Any ideas/theories?</p>
<p>lol</p>
<p>i think it would have to honor some sort of phenomenal acheivement or else it seems unlikely they would reverse a decision. if they saw enough reason to reject you WITH the award, would this really make them feel comfortable ignoring that? If the underlying question is "should I inform them of this really great award I just won?" then I dont see why not...it can only help</p>
<p>The accept and reject piles will continue to shift and change until the letters and emails are sent out. They are by no means set in stone. </p>
<p>If you feel you have a significant change to make to your application, then there can be no harm in making it. The student may not go from reject to admit, but he may go from 'maybe' to 'yes'.</p>
