Updating - some questions :d

<p>Hi. I am a little confused about "updates" in general. I hear classmates talking that this is a time when most Harvard applicants, sending mid-year reports, update on everything they have done since they've submitted their applications. I used to think you just needed to send the MYReport, and any awards you've gotten for the purpose of these updates.
So my question is, how do you update on Harvard, and are you supposed to be very detailed about what you've been doing since you submitted your app (submitted mine in Dec....nothings changed very much for me), or just list major awards you've gotten since then (like won an international piano contest [the previous totally does not apply to me, lol] )
thanks. I'm just confused about "updating", because I keep hearing mixed things about it. Are you supposed to say what kinds of contests and stuff you are participating in every club? I already wrote what I would be doing on my resume, and there's nothing new to add to that...so not really sure what I would update on, except for maybe adding classes or something

****Also, what is they best way to update them? E-mail or fax?</p>
