<p>Hi, I just received a national award and was wondering what's the best way to update the adcoms? Should I just email them or will that be overlooked? </p>
<p>Will it be too late and should I even bother? Thanks.</p>
<p>Fax them a brief letter explaining the award</p>
<p>Definitely too great a chance that email will be overlooked. You can do it if you want, but you want something that will get into your file. You might call the Admissions Office, ask one of the administrative staff the best method.</p>
