<p>I emailed the local admin officer about an update to my application and I got an automated email back.</p>
<p>Should I just let it sit or is there a better to contact admissions?</p>
<p>You need to fax the update to the admissions office. It might be too late now, but I know that faxing is by far the preferring method.</p>
<p>Thank you for the info… can’t hurt to try can it?</p>
<p>Do you have any specific details on how the cover letter should look (who to address it to, name, birth date, etc?). Like if I just fax them a random page wouldn’t it seem kind of weird?</p>
<p>"Thank you for contacting the Office of Undergraduate Admission at Stanford University.</p>
<p>Please send a fax to (650) 723-6050 for updates, changes or corrections you wish to make to your application. On the fax, please include your full name, date of birth and Common Application ID number.</p>
<p>Best,
Stanford University
Office of Undergraduate Admission"</p>
<p>I hope that helps.</p>
<p>Yes indeed, much appreciated sir.</p>
<p>wow you got an automated response? I didn’t get any 
… but I had sent an update in an email like 10days ago… and I didn’t hear from them, so I called them up. The lady at the desk said they couldn’t confirm that the update has been added but if I had emailed it, it would have been, and I would get no notification that it has been added.</p>
<p>That wasn’t automated. It took like a week after I sent the email.</p>
<p>My counselor sent them an update but he only had my school’s info and my name.
Do you think it will matter?</p>
<p>I meant if it would make a difference that I had less information on it</p>
<p>hmm I havent received any reply yet. Its been like 2 weeks+.</p>
