Should I update Colleges for these achievements?

<p>I want to maximize my chances for HYPS, Dartmouth, Columbia, Penn, and Duke. I have several recent accomplishments since submitting my application such as:
Semifinalist in National High School Scholars Academic Scholarship, Semifinalist for Washington Crossing Foundation Scholarship (national scholarship, Varsity Chess Team qualified for Shore Chess League Championship Finals and placed 6th there, Discus Award Winner, National Merit Special Scholarship Candidate (separate from traditional National Merit Scholarship program--from a corporation).</p>

<p>Or should I wait until later? Semifinalists for USABO might come out March 4th or March 15th. I made semis last year, so I think I have a moderate chance of having a repeat. </p>

<p>Should I update now or later or not at all?</p>

<p>Oh and do I need verification for awards? Like the letters I received or anything to go along with my fax update?</p>

<p>update now, they might not consider it but why take the chance …</p>
