Should I update my Early Action colleges on an award I got?

Applying to College

Hi all,

I just found out that I won first in a national writing contest. For context, there are three categories, one first-place winner in each, and about twenty people were recognized total. There were nearly 400 submissions across the country.

Is it worth notifying the schools I applied EA to about this?

Thanks!

Yes.

Yes, this is a notable achievement that will impress colleges.

Yes, notify the colleges. But I would pick up the phone and call––do not email.
