Sending mid year report for scholarships?

<p>I just got my report card, and my grades are significantly better than the grades that I got in 9th - 11th grades. Also, recently, I participated in the school division science fair in the category of physics, the second most competitive event in the fair, and I received a first place. So, do you think telling U of M that I achieved things like above will increase my chance to get scholarships (even very slightly)?</p>
