My letter of updated info needs proofreading:

Applying to College
1

<p>Dear admissions official,</p>

<p>I am emailing you with new information about my application to _____.</p>

<p>On the Common App application, I indicated that I would take French 6 honors this semester. Due to scheduling issues, I have not been able to take the class. Instead, I am continuing on the regular track.</p>

<p>Also, my high school does not rank, but I was identified as an ELC (Eligibility in the Local Context) applicant by the UC system, meaning my sophomore and junior year grades put me somewhere in the top 4 percent of my graduating class. I forgot to note this when filling out my application, but I hope it will help the committee to determine where I stand, in terms of rank.</p>

<p>Lastly, I have been selected to receive Comcast’s Leader and Achievers Scholarship. Previously, I noted that I was my school’s nominee for the scholarship, but I’m happy to note that as of _____, I am a lucky recipient of the award.</p>

<p>I hope this new update will be helpful in evaluating me. Please let me know if you would like supporting documentation of any kind.</p>

<p>Sincerely,</p>

<p>(my name)
(SSN #)</p>

<p>Is there anything that needs to made clearer? Any unneeded info? As a side note, my GC isn’t writing notes for the students on our midyear reports, so even if it would be better to have some of that information come from him, I need to do the updates myself.</p>

<p>Congrats on those awards! I think it’s good.</p>

4

<p>It’s fine, trust yourself</p>

5

<p>I suggest that you put your achievements first, including putting the most impressive one at the very beginning. At the end of the letter is where to mention that you couldn’t take that French course.</p>

<p>NSM, I’ll take your suggestion.
