New Honor/Award Received After Applications Are In

<p>My friend just got the letter that he has been awarded the SUNY Chancellor's Award for Student Excellence - the highest honor bestowed upon SUNY students by the University. I think that this award is probably relevant to his transfer application to elite colleges. He will be graduating from a SUNY CC with highest academic honors this spring.</p>

<p>He has already completed his transfer applications to several elite schools (transfer app deadlines were Feb 1 through Mar 15) - (with three more apps to go).</p>

<p>What would be the best method to alert the schools to which he has already applied about this honor?</p>

<ul>
<li>Scan and email the letter,</li>
<li>Fax the letter, or</li>
<li>Copy and US mail the letter</li>
</ul>

<p>Should he email each school and ask them or should he just adopt a method and do it for all?</p>

<p>any opinions on how he should share this with the schools he's applied to?</p>

<p>I would fax it first and then mail it regular.</p>

<p>I had the exact same thing happen to me today. I just copied and mailed the letter with an attached description, including my name and application status (EA transfer).</p>

<p>Decisions don't come out for a while yet, so I think he should be ok with snail mail.</p>

<p>i'd recommend that he put together an application supplement package - cover letter w. list of any new honors/awards and the importance of each. if he could include a copy of the letter... but it's not a necessity.</p>

<p>he should also alert the admissions offices that the materials are coming.</p>

<p>he is putting them in the mail with a letter attached. how else should he notify the admissions offices?</p>
