Hello - looking for some advice.
Submitted the apps in before November 1 and received MVP award for my sports team a few days later. Is it worth it to try and let my colleges know? Or perhaps just the ED school? I know it’s more typical to do this if you’re on a wait list and trying to show interest, but let me know what you think.
Thanks!
It’s only been a week since the application deadline. I am of the belief, particularly for EA/ED applications, that the college has everything it needs to make its decisions. Every applicant to a selective college will have accomplishments which occur after submission. AOs know that, but they don’t want to be inundated with minor updates from thousands of applicants.
So does that mean that one should not submit updates? No. That’s not what I’m saying. But one needs to be judicious. If it’s something that made the nationally-read papers (and not just the local free weekly) like an Academy Award nomination (or similar prestigious achievement), include on the update. If it’s to tell them that you were elected softball captain, had another 4.0 quarter (or anything at the school level Including MVP), don’t.
