Hi everyone,
I am a high school senior and found out yesterday that I received a Silver Medal at the National Scholastic Art Awards. Do you think it is worth notifying Columbia of such at this point, and if so, how would I do so?
Thanks much!
Congratulations on your award!
I also applied to Columbia RD (I got a likely letter about a month ago), and I remember seeing on the application portal that they specifically ask to not send awards through the applicant portal, since I was also wondering whether or not to send in new awards.
Since we’re about 2 weeks from the official decision notification date, I would say there isn’t really much use in sending in an update because it’s more than likely they already made their decision. However, it’s always better to be safe than sorry so I think it doesn’t hurt to call their admissions office today and ask. I’ve made several phone calls to Columbia and they were all very friendly!
Best of luck and congrats again!
