Updating Colleges

Applying to College
1

Hello, all. So, I recently found out that I’ve qualified to compete in USAPhO, and this is something I’d like to make my RD schools aware of, seeing as it’s a decently prestigious competition, and also because my college counselor recommended I attempt to do so. However, outside of schools like Yale, there aren’t too many schools which allow me to directly update my application through the applicant portal. Is sending an email with my application information sufficient? Here are my RD schools, if that helps:

BU
Yale
RPI
JHU
Cornell
Vanderbilt
WashU
GTech [though, admission results for this and WashU (I think) are being released in 3 days, so they’re probably not worth updating now]
Assorted UCs
NYU

I can’t see that it will hurt, but I suspect it is perhaps just a little too late. I would email the regional rep and make the subject header your name, updated information.

Maybe too late but go ahead and send an email. Be sure to include your university ID so they can associate with your app quickly. Be brief. Use a subject line along the lines of “Update to Application.”
