If one’s research gets published, is that worthy of an update to one’s application? And if asked to categorize the update, would it be an academic or an extra-curricular achievement?
If it is a peer-reviewed publication in a reputable journal, you bet that it is worthy of an update!
It would go into extra-curricular achievements, I assume.
I completely agree! A peer reviewed publication is an extremely impressive feat comparable to the final capstone to an Ivy level college application
