I have 3 II's, 4 rejections, and 16 pending med school applications.
I was just nominated by my research PI and professor for the Lincoln Laureate award, the highest award the state of Illinois gives out. It is given to one student from each college in the state annually, I would be inducted into the Order of Lincoln, put in the Chicago newspaper, get $1K, and attend a ceremony dinner with the governor, etc. I feel that I should update the 16 pending applications about this development, but I am unsure how to do so. Should I write an update letter just for this nomination, or should it have other information as well? Is it better to just wait until I find out if I actually get the award, even though that is not until November?
