So recently I got a new award that I would have mentioned on my app had I gotten it earlier. A teacher mentioned in passing that it could be a good idea to actually email my early schools to notify them that I would like to revise my awards section (since I already have the same award for two years prior, and I would just say something like “pretend that the 2 years in a row is 3”). I was a bet skeptical so I asked my guidance counselor, and she gave me a green light. Before I send an email to admissions, has anyone done this before and is it an acceptable thing to do?
This would be an update rather than a LOCI. If the award is significant it is fine to send a short (couple of lines) note to admissions officers to let them know that since you applied to the college you have received XYZ award.
Alright, I am planning on sending a short paragraph explaining why I want to notify them of the award, a link to some media that goes along with the award, and then some intro/conclusion.
I would keep the whole email one paragraph. I dont think multiple links are needed. Admissions officers are crazy busy now and aren’t looking for anything long to read.
