<p>If I did exceptionally well on recent contests such as the amc and national german exam, would this be something that columbia would consider if i told them now? If so, should i notify them by email, or what?</p>
<p>If it doesn’t hurt, there’s a chance that it can help.</p>
<p>you’d have to fax them a letter i believe. call the admissions dept to confirm.</p>
<p>Depends on what you mean by exceptionally well on the AMC? Passing (100)? Or are you in math genius range? If got a solid passing score, it’s not likely going to help, but it doesn’t really cost anything. If you got an amazing score, let them know, but it still likely won’t do much.</p>
