Hi! I submitted my app a few weeks ago and hopefully it'll be verified next week. I submitted relatively early as I've been told there is a big advantage for having everything complete by the end of August.

However, I have a lot of things I am doing this summer which would look good on an app. I have two research papers submitted to journals, and which will hopefully be accepted for publication by the new year, one or two more papers which should be submitted around December, and a second shadowing opportunity I am starting soon.

What is the best way to update schools with this info after I submit my primary Should I just write a letter stating what I want to add and send it to every school? How many update letters would be considered too many? Should I send a letter when a paper gets submitted, when it is accepted for publication, and when it is actually published? Or should I just send one letter with loads of content? I'm guessing multiple update letters would be too many but I am only going off of word of mouth. Thanks.
