Can I Notify College Admission Committee Of My Achievement Even After Sending College Application?

Hi, I am turning into a senior in high school after this summer.
Of all possible questions about college application, mine is a little bit “special.”
In the state of Hawaii, most competitions in Math and Science are held around March–which is always after the college
If I achieve any fabulous state award in March, is there way to notify the college of my latest achievement before it delivers its final decision as to whether it will accept me or not?
Please give me a thorough answer anyone.
Yes, you can and you should. Schools are different on their procedures. So it is best to call the specific school and ask them about it. In fact, most schools require additional information such as transcripts and grades, entrance test scores from your senior year after the application has received by the college/university. Furthermore, acceptances can be conditional, meaning that a school may rescind its offer if something negative happens, i.e. dramatic drop in grades, etc. So be careful. Good luck with the admission and college.
This is a BIG guess but you could try calling the admin office and ask if it would be possible to fed ex ( you’d want to do this fast) an amended copy of your application.
My brother had a similar issue while applying for college. Though by now the colleges have probably made their decision, it can’t hurt to send in a list of how you did in the competitions. It may not affect if you are accepted or not, but you never know.
Good Luck!
