Updating CV After Application Submission


jmb04

Recommended Posts

I've submitted all my applications but today I found out that I will be speaking at a conference in March. I'm not sure that any of the schools allow for updates on the application though. Does this little nugget of information merit contacting the schools and telling them about it via e-mail? And who would I tell - the grad student coordinator, a POI, DGS...?

I emailed several places to let them know when I changed my schedule this semester since both the class I dropped and the class I added were relevant to what I want to study. All but one place gave me a response along the lines "thanks for letting us know, we attached a note to your application." I would email the student coordinator or secretary in charge of dealing with applications and let them know. Even better would be to call them; most will probably respond by saying "email me the details and I'll put something on your file."

If you application is under review and they tell you that the file can no longer be amended, then I would consider emailing a POI or the DGS.

Thanks, tyler88. I e-mailed all the administrative people (grad student coordinators and the like) at the schools, and they all responded in a very friendly manner about how they would update my applicant file and inform the adcoms.
