<p>After the application is entirely sent in, is there anything else one can do to strengthen an application or image. For example, periodically call and chat with a regional admissions counselor? Send in additional stuff as it becomes available?</p>

<p>Basically yeah. </p>
<p>Write a letter to your regional person asking some useful questions about the school. That will get your name in there. Get the name of the person you talk to and talk to them next time you call, etc. Or get your regional person. (If you call general admissions, they are just going to put you through to the on call counselor, you're not going to get "your" counselor)</p>
<p>If you win a big award, send in notification. You probably want to "save up" the update information and make one additional subimission rather than bombarding them with a "you" update weekly.</p>
