<p>I was accepted EDII to Tufts back in February. Recently, I have taken place in a regional science and engineering fair, placed first, and am moving on to an international fair. Would there be any point or significance to emailing the admissions office and keeping them up to date with things such as this? It's not like it would help my application since I'm already accepted, and I'm not looking for a, "Oh, that's so great. Congratulations. <em>claps</em>" response. I just wanted to make sure that I wasn't missing any possible reason to do so that would prompt me to inform Tufts of major (in my opinion) accomplishments.
Thoughts?</p>
<p>You can have your counselor send that information in the final school report, but I think if you send it now all it’ll get you is the “Oh, that’s so great, congratulations.” You were already accepted after all</p>
<p>I can see no reason to send the information to the admissions office after you’ve been accepted. All they need to see is your final transcript for the year, and then only to make sure that you actually finished your courses and didn’t trash any of them.</p>
<p>If you’d previously applied for financial aid and didn’t get as much as you’d hoped, occasionally updates can help; however, I think that’s pretty rare. Congrats regardless!</p>
<p>Way to ED2, PenguinMaster! </p>
<p>There is no real reason to send the update, though it’s impressive you haven’t let your foot off the gas since getting in. Go Jumbos!</p>
<p>Thank you everybody. I didn’t apply for financial aid, so that won’t be a factor. I was feeling the same way: that it would, essentially, be meaningless to send an update.
Thanks, Dan. It’ll still be full-throttle for me. I want to end high school with a bang (and in the theme of my physics research, a Big Bang)!</p>
<p>For the formal record, to the extent anything on CC is formal, updates will not help anyone with financial aid (at Tufts). The aid office calculates need with complete autonomy from the application evaluation.</p>
<p>(Penguinmaster, you made me laugh)</p>
