<p>Hi all! </p>

<p>Quick note before the holidays - </p>

<p>If you're sending supplemental material, or updating your application as a deferred student, we prefer you to fax them to us. This isn't to say that you need to send us stuff - however, if you are going to send us stuff, please fax it, as opposed to mail / carrier pigeon / carrier dragon / etc. </p>

<p>I know, faxing is straight 1980s, but we have a terrific system set up whereby if you fax us stuff it automagically converts it to a PDF and puts it into your electronic folder, whereas if you mail us stuff we just have to scan it manually. </p>

<p>Easier for us, easier for your guidance counselor, saves on postage, and so forth. </p>

<p>You should send faxes to 617-687-9184</p>

<p>(don't freak out if you sent it to -8304; that number works too, but the 9184 number is better) </p>

<p>k thanks! enjoy the break everyone!</p>

2

<p>So I can send in update scores correct?</p>

3

<p>If you want to send updated standardized test scores, you should send an official score report from the relevant testing organization. But you certainly can update those scores.</p>

4

<p>Should I fax to update that I’m retaking my subject tests?</p>

5

<p>How does the material you want to be faxed differ from the midyear report?</p>

6

<p>Wondering the same as freemovement… if we have new info/awards, should we sit and wait until we have to send the midyear?</p>

7

<p>I’m not Chris, but you should feel free to send updates in the MYR, or by fax if it’s more convenient for you. You don’t need to send updates right away – you want to get them in by, say, the end of January.</p>

8

<p>Is the deadline for updating apps as a deferred student Jan 1?</p>

9

<p>No, which is why I’m saying you should try to get updates in by about the end of January. Earlier is good, though.</p>
