Should I send application updates?
Answered

I'm specifically interested in sending updates to Harvard, which I was deferred from REA and already sent a LOCI to in January; however, I've since gotten to the final round of Coke Scholars apps, done well in winter activities, won a fairly prestigious national award, so I was wondering whether another letter would be worth it. Thank you!

If you were going to send something, be very quick about it since there are only 2 weeks before Harvard finishes assembling the acceptance packages and sending them out.

If you have already had your Harvard interview and it went well, I honestly do not think these additions will make any marginal difference whatsoever. They had 99% of the information they need to make an informed decision prior to your LOCI.

Good luck.
