Hello
I’ve applied early to Harvard (around the 17th of Oct) but have just received news that is really worthy of updating Harvard about. How do I do this? Should I just send in a PDF with ‘Update’ on it and explain? Do I upload it on the portal?
I know I only have till the 10th to do this so if anyone could help me out real quick I would be eternally grateful!
Thank you!
Sure. Send the note with a request that this be inserted into your file.
@T26E4 Thanks so much for the prompt reply! Isn’t anything I add to my portal automatically put into my file?
If this is a really important update – one that could potentially change the outcome of your application – then I would FAX your update to Harvard Admissions. Paper spewing out of a FAX machine demands immediate attention, whereas who knows when a pdf uploaded to the portal will get read and added to your file.
@Emma27 You can just upload it to the portal. My son sent an important update that way last year, and I’m sure it was considered. If you want to be extra careful, do both—add it to the portal and send a fax.
