<p>I got a letter stating that I am a National Merit Finalist. Should I tell my Yale rep about it? I was deferred from EASC, and I have been in contact with my Bay Area rep, Susan… would an email describing this and maybe also that my soccer team were league champions be too little substance for a whole email? Would Yale care much about this if they already saw Semi-finalist on my application?</p>
<p>YES! ten ch</p>
<p>What does “ten ch” mean?</p>
<p>Just means that I need ten characters in order to be able to post that message so i just wrote “ten ch” to fill up space. Sorry.</p>
<p>Oh. Good form!</p>
<p>Yeah, I sent an update with my NMF status along with other new accomplishments. I think it will help :).</p>
<p>I sent one too. It gave me another chance to say “Yale Rocks! Woohoo!”</p>
<p>I got a letter stating that I am a National Merit Finalist too, and I was rejected from Yale’s EASC. Should I write a letter too? :p</p>
<p>If you were rejected, there is no need to tell yale about finalist status. If you were deferred, than by all means let them know.</p>
<p>do they not know otherwise?</p>
<p>They probably don’t bother to check.</p>
<p>hmm, if you’re an RD applicant, is it frowned upon to send updates like this? (one of the benefits of being deferred ED or EA is that you get to send them extra stuff)</p>
<p>I’m RD and I sent an update anyway. Don’t know if it’s frowned upon or not…guess I’ll see in April ;)</p>
<p>i think chopsticks is differentiating between RD applicants who were deferred EA and those who didn’t apply EA. chopsticks, i sent updates to both colleges I applied RD and to Yale where i was deferred EA.</p>
<p>no, i think they encourage you to send updates</p>
<p>I also sent an update, and I applied RD.</p>
