Hi there! I'm a junior, and I'm starting to work on my college applications. If I submit my application and later want to add additional materials (like an updated resume or new awards), is that possible? Thanks for your help!
Hi! It's great to see that you're being proactive about your college applications. To answer your question, it depends on the specific college or university you're applying to. Some schools do allow you to submit updates or additional materials after you've submitted your application, while others might not. It's best to check each school's specific policies on their admissions websites or contact their admissions offices directly to get the most accurate information. If you do find out that a school allows for updates, make sure to send the additional materials through the appropriate channels (e.g., email or the school's application portal) and include your full name, date of birth, and application ID, so they can easily match the new documents to your existing application. Keep in mind that it's generally better to submit a complete and strong application from the start, but if you have significant updates (like new awards or accomplishments), it's worth reaching out to the schools. Good luck with your applications!
