Congratulations! I’m not sure how much an update letter might help, but I would go ahead and FAX Admissions. Don’t send an update through the portal, as it may take weeks for Admissions to read a portal update.

Your FAXed letter should include the letter or email of notification, as well as the short story itself. At the top of the letter, be sure to include your legal name, date of birth, high school, and Common Application number, Something along the lines of . . .

Dear Harvard Admissions,

I just received notification from XXXXXX letting me now that my short story has been selected for publication in the (April/May/June) issue. Please see attached (email/letter) and my soon to be published short story.

Thank you in advance for reviewing this last minute update to my file.

All best,
