<p>Would it be too late to update colleges of recent achievements? I'm sure they're near finishing up deciding but I have hope that they'll pull my file out and reconsider.</p>
<p>Stuff I'm adding:
submitted publication to Cell
submitted publication to Mol. Microbiol.
International award
National award
some small stuff
NMF</p>
<p>urgh. i really hope they'll consider next week</p>
<p>also, let’s say that a college decided to reject/waitlist me as a decision. if new information comes through (multiple stuff) would they reopen file and look at me again?</p>
<p>I think it depends on the school and how early they make their decisions, I know some have already starting mailing out some acceptances. I don’t know if it’s necessarily a waste of time to send it now, however I think it never hurts to try!</p>
<p>I also was in this spot, and decided to send it last week. I rather know that I did every possible thing in my power xD</p>
<p>Good luck =)</p>
<p>Yeah but I’m mainly wondering if they would pull my file out and reconsider even though they’ve already reviewed my app. Its a lot of things to add. I want to be hopeful xD</p>
<p>Yeah, if only we could get behind the scenes of the admission process. I’m curious about that too haha.</p>
<p>anyone else know/can help? thanks in advance!</p>
<p>If you’re a borderline case, then it could help you (assuming they haven’t already made their final decisions).</p>
<p>If you’re not a borderline case, it probably won’t make much of a difference.</p>
<p>Either way, it’s definitely worth a try, as it can’t hurt you.</p>
<p>like as in final decisions in general or my individual case?</p>
<p>Unlikely that the update will be accepted. Schools like Cornell stopped accepting updates 3 weeks ago. Even less likely that they will re-review your file in light of the updates. Decisions are typically regarded as final unless the decision gets appealed (if they even allow that).</p>
<p>However, it doesn’t hurt to try. The update sounds pretty darn significant. Hope you sent it already.</p>
<p>Yeah. Well, hopefully they see how significant this update is and consider. Nothing’s set in stone =P</p>
<p>I thought top colleges makes their decisions all the way up to the last day? (for borderline)</p>
