Should I update my application to reflect a new position?
Posted: Wed Feb 10, 2010 2:24 pm
I was just named as co-chair of a 20s/30s group at my synagogue. The position also gives me a seat on the synagogue board. I have been involved in the synagogue since graduating from undergraduate 2.5 years ago, and had listed my involvement as a committee chair on my resume. Is it worth it to communicate my new position to specific admissions offices? I applied to schools in the T14 as well as some safety schools in mid-December. So far I have been admitted to my 3 safety schools, but have not heard a response from the other 10 schools I applied to.
Last Friday I interviewed with an alum from Georgetown, and I mentioned my new volunteer position at the synagogue. She seemed very excited about the position, and made a point to write it down on her interview write-up form. I wasn't sure if that meant that other admissions individuals might find the development interesting as well.
If I should let offices know about this development, what is the best way to relate the information?
Many thanks.
