<<hey guys,
just found out i got another award. how do i update this? i mean how do i let all of the schools know? can i do it through amcas?>>
First, follow the AMCAS or schools' instructions. 🙂
If there are no specific instructions, then call the schools. Let them know that you wish to update your application, so that you may be considered a more qualified candidate.
If you can send a letter to the admissions office, photocopy the award, and write a formal letter addressed to the Admissions Committee, expressing your desire to update your application.
Write something like this...
Dear Admissions Committee:
I have recently been presented with Award X by So and So. It (describe accomplishment) and would like to update my application in light of this achievement. Please call me or e-mail me if my application can be updated. I worked tirelessly for this honor, and I will do whatever it takes to earn a seat at your medical school.
Respectfully,
bruinkid
School
City, State
Or something like that. Hope this helps!
