waitlisted for funding; send the dept. an updated cv?

[jewelbomb]

So, um . . .I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post this, but the question is primarily about funding so here goes: I've been accepted (but waitlisted for funding) at a school that I'd very much like to attend. Any thoughts about whether or not it would be a good idea to send an updated CV to the department? An article I've written has been accepted for publication in a peer-reviewed journal in my field (English literature) since I initially applied. I've also recently won a competitive travel grant. I feel like it certainly couldn't hurt my chances to let the department know that I've met with some academic success since we last spoke . . . unless they would find my badgering annoying. Maybe I should just call the department and ask if they would be willing to look over any additional materials. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks people.

I would contact them and ask if they'd consider it. They're probably just waiting for someone else to decline their offer so they can award you funding.
