Other OT-Related Information App Protocol Question

[CAOT]

I received some exciting news yesterday! A project I was involved in last year designing/building an adapted standup paddleboard has been accepted for presentation through peer review at a national convention! I'll be traveling to Boston in March to present.

Here's my question: since I already applied to OTCAS schools/was verified, I understand the app is locked, so I can't add to the resume I submitted...

Is it appropriate to send an email to schools mentioning the new development (briefly) and reiterating my interest in the school, etc? Or is that generally frowned upon?
(Is not an AOTA convention, or anything, and won't be the deciding factor regardless, but I am pretty excited...).

Advice?

I believe there's a time period where you update your OTCAS application but I'm not sure if it's just grades that you can update or if you can also update experiences. I think this happens in December. If all else fails, it's something you can bring up in your interview. It helps round you out as a person 🙂
