Update E-mail

<p>I want to send Yale an update email regarding what I've done since I applied SCEA. I'm hoping it helps a little so I can get admitted this time around. But anyhow, what all do I need to include? I mean, I think when we e-mail them we're supposed to include some kind of Eli pin # or something like that.</p>

<p>Here's what I want to update them on:
My GPA went up to 4.6W and stayed at 4.0UW
My Class rank went up one spot from 5/700 to 4/700
I made state finals for the second year in a row for the AAA Travel Challenge
I led our NHS as president in raising over $5,000 for autism
I wrote a scholarship essay (forget which one) that won an award
I am competing later this year in a county-wide math competition</p>

<p>Is this all worth including? Opinions on how good this stuff is are welcome, along with what other stuff I need to include (pin number, name, etc.) I just remember reading something about what we needed to include on stuff like this but I lost it...</p>

<p>How did you find out that you made state finals for the AAA Travel Challenge already?</p>

<p>They sent me an email a few weeks ago. I already responded too. I'm pretty sure everyone who made it was notified already.</p>

<p>Why wouldn't you?....</p>

6

<p>Would you guys recommend this for RD candidates too?</p>

7

<p>Couldn't hurt</p>

<p>Oh, I JUST sent in my thing about two seconds ago...</p>

<p>Are they even going to consider this now? I'm not sure why I waited around this long to do it (stupid senioritis).</p>

<p>I think it's worth it. It shows that senioritis hasn't hit you, at least not as much as it's hit most of the rest of us.</p>

<p>Does it matter if updates are sent in writing to the admissions office versus email? I wrote a letter two weeks ago addressed to the regional admission officer with updates. I thought this way I knew not only would she get it but it would get added to my file. I guess email gets there quicker for last minuite things, but was just wondering.</p>
