<p>My son is a finalist for a full tuition scholarship at a specific school. He is going to the school next weekend for an overnight visit and an interview as required for finalists. I am thinking of sending him with an updated list of his activities. Things are not much different for him than when he sent in his application last fall. However, in January he was a presenter at a national math conference. He did not present any original research or anything like that, but he was involved in a fairly unique project at his school. The teacher submitted a proposal for a presentation at the conference which was accepted. The teacher, my son and another student attended and presented the project, their experience with it and how others might use something similar in schools.</p>
<p>When he applied, he sent an activity summary. So I want to kind of create an addendum to this summary, highlighting this experience. My question is, should we add other things or let the conference thing stand alone? Is his conference experience unique enough that it should be mentioned to the school at all? He is continuing in the same activities he was in the fall. He became a NM finalist, but since he told them he was a semi-finalist, that won’t be anything new. He has been nominated for a couple of nice awards by his school, but the winners will not be announced until April. Should this be included as well? I want him to be able to share what he has been up to since his application without overkill. Anyone who has done this kind of thing have any suggestions?</p>
