<p>This weekend I participated in a Model United Nations conference that Penn runs. I won a small award, a "verbal commendation." It is tough to get an award at the conference, but then again, the one I got is kind of lower-level.</p>
<p>My question: would it be to my advantage to notify penn of this award? Does penn even care at all now that they're already processing apps? Would it just irritate them? Or would it show my interest in the school and my respect for their activities?</p>
<p>honestly, it won't make much difference, but can't hurt</p>
<p>and penn doesn't technically run it, just we students, so it's a little bit different than, for example, participating in a penn competition for robotics</p>
