Melissa B Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 My daughter just won first place in a Hemingway writing contest. She has already submitted her application to her top choice college. However, I have not sent in her transcript yet. I needed to buy black ink first. I was planning to send the transcript today. Should I add the award to her transcript or should she contact the school and somehow add it to her application materials? It was a significant award that comes with a nice check and a presentation by one of the Hemingway family members. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MerryAtHope Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Congratulations! If you have a box for awards or honors on her transcript, I would add it there. What a wonderful honor! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kassia Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Congratulations! I would contact someone in admissions with your question. My feeling is that I wouldn't put it on the transcript, but I would send the info to admissions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melissa B Posted July 15, 2017 Author Share Posted July 15, 2017 Thanks everyone! We played with adding it to the transcript, but it didn't look right. We hadn't made a section for awards and don't want to re-create a whole transcript that really needs to be in the mail today. She is going to contact the school about mailing/emailing a copy of the certificate to have added to her file. Admissions has been helpful in the past, so I think they will be willing to slip it in with her other papers. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanetC Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Your student should email admissions herself with the update. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melissa B Posted July 15, 2017 Author Share Posted July 15, 2017 Your student should email admissions herself with the update. She will. I haven't had any personal contact with the admissions department. I give my input and she handles the details. :) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
