<p>I was wondering if it would help my application to UPenn (Wharton), if they knew that I joined Mu Alpha Theta this year. I joined after I turned in my application, so they have no idea. Also, I was the coordinator for this year’s black history month program. Is this worth calling them and telling them or writing a letter, or is it not that important?</p>
<p>Depends on what you did. For Math Club I wouldn’t send it in. For ECs they want to see commitment. Joining Math Club for one year doesn’t really show that.</p>
<p>The coordinator thing sounds pretty neat. If you really did make a difference (and this will ultimately come down to your discretion) you might want to consider sending it in. Best of luck.</p>
<p>^^ agreed. The Mu Alpha Theta for one year doesn’t really make a difference (especially since the adcoms have seen it a thousand and a half times), but if the coordinator position was significant (as in, you did change / make a difference), then that might be a good thing to notify them of.</p>
<p>Did you work with a faculty member on the program? A letter from the advisor explaining and praising what you did would be much more impressive than your writing the school about it yourself.</p>
<p>I planned the black history month program where I coordinated all the different acts that went on. I involved all of the arts departments (dance, drama, music, etc). Additionally, I performed in the show. It was actually a wonderful experience because it was the first time our school had a show that incorporated people of all colors who wanted to participate. And, yes I did work with several faculty members. I emailed my regional director for UPenn to see if it is too late to send in any additional information. If it is not too late, my counselor will be glad to write a letter and fax it on my behalf. Thanx for the comments guys :-)</p>
