Should I email my graduate schools with updates?

[sef04]

I am currently a senior undergraduate student and submitted all my applications for Physics PhD programs (Quantum Science and Engineering Research) a week ago. I’ve been working as a mathematics tutor in my school’s tutoring center and recently made a significant contribution (at least in my opinion) to our tutoring system. I successfully implemented a plan for after-class workshops in collaboration with a professor, aimed at providing students with additional practice. Starting January 25, I will be fully in charge of these sessions. The team anticipates this initiative will be a great addition since it’s the first of its kind for the math team.

Here’s my question: I’m planning to update my CV to include this contribution under the teaching experience section. Should I email my graduate schools with an update about this? I’m considering sending a continued interest email to keep the admissions committee informed about my ongoing work. I believe the committee may value this contribution since it aligns with the skills required for being a teaching assistant, which is relevant to their programs.

Do you think this is a good idea? Why or why not?

Thanks in advance!

Depends on your school.  From my experience this year, some will accept it, some will not.  Why not just do it anyway and see what happens?
