Updating your application over the phone???

Yes. Phone and email address on your application should be current in case they need to contact you. Unless you'd prefer they interview your younger brother.

Haha! That would be a disaster.

In general, it's not polite to post a question, get an answer, and retract the question. 

 

It prevents other applicants, in the future, from getting any use out of the thread.

I agree. I was interested in this question because I was thinking if I should email or call my department. I guess I'll just hijack this thread with my own question: 

 

I applied to a program. Their deadline was on March 1st and they send out all acceptance/rejection notices on April 1st. They offer a select number of scholarships based on academic merit and financial need (which they use the FAFSA to determine). Oddly, their website states, if you want to be considered for a scholarship, you must 1) express your interest in your statement of purpose, and 2) complete the FAFSA by the application deadline. 

 

Now, I technically completed my FAFSA back in January. I had an EFC of almost 3000. But I just recently found out through the VA that I shouldn't have added my GI Bill, so I made corrections and my EFC is now 0. I feel like that change is significant. Anyway, I wanted to contact the department and let them know of the change. I'm wondering if phone or email would be better. I'm also wondering if this would violate rule #2 "complete the FAFSA by the application deadline." 

 

Any advice?
