Yes, put it on. You can put a sentence about it in Additional Information if you are out of spaces. Then send a follow up email to admissions at all of your schools letting them know if/when you make NFM. Don’t take anything else off.

You want every school to know, not just your first choice NFM school. Plus you may not even decide on that school until after admission decisions are made. Finally, Admissions might not even be the ones who receive the info if you just let the NM organization inform them.
