Should I tell them about my accepted article?

[lexicana]

Here is the deal. I applied to 4 schools and have been wait listed to two (my 2 top choices). I am still waiting to hear from the fourth school. I recently had an article accepted for publication which will come out in April. I had listed that article as "in theworks" on my CV. This will be my fourth publication. Should I notify the two schools I was wait listed at about the accepted article. Since I arleady have three publications does a fourth one really make a big difference to adcomms? If I notify them, I am afraid to look desperate. At the same time, if it will help me I don't want to waste the opportunity. Any thoughts??? Could it help or hurt?????

It could only help you. I think you should notify them, especially the ones that have wait-listed you. I would be a good way to let them now that you are still very interested in their program. Good luck!

I'd ask if you can send in an updated CV that reflects your newly accepted article.

I like this. It is a way to say you are being published without seeming like you are flaunting it.

Thanks everyone. I think I will do that.
