hi! i am a high school senior and moved cross country on january 29. i have not yet had a free moment to think about updating colleges on my move (moving is hard), but i can now. how should i update them? what should i say? i would rather not discuss the reasons for my move as they are extremely traumatic. i moved during the middle of my new schools term, so i am auditing this term and will be taking different classes next term than listed on my application as well as different AP tests.

You should notify admissions at all colleges you have acceptances from and are considering attending as well as all colleges where you have decisions pending of the move and coursework change ASAP.

I do not think you will need to disclose the reasons for the move, just that it happened (most high school students have very little autonomy about where they live and when they move).
You or a counselor might need to explain that the timing of the move and the new school’s term calendar necessitated auditing for a period of time.
Wishing you the best.
