This issue came up at my house and I voted No (i.e., yes, it’s too late). It might not be too late to make sure they knew about a Fields Medal, a MacArthur, an Oscar, or a Nobel Prize, but I think it’s too late to send clippings about the high school play.

Bethie, hasn’t your son already, like, gotten in almost everywhere? I understand there may be a few schools that haven’t sent him roses or jewelry yet, but I think you’ve got a pretty good read that his application is strong. He’s going to win; it’s bad form to look like you’re trying to run up the score.
