I just had my year-end review and had my salary increased by 25k and my year-end bonus increased by over 100k.

Given we had to include salaries and recent bonuses on the applications, is this something I'm supposed to email to the admissions teams as an update to my application?

The only school I remember mentioning it was Columbia which stated if there were any changes/etc to email them.

Looking for some advice, thank you!

No harm sending an update. Since the change happened post your application submission, it doesn't impact your candidacy, nor does it impact your scholarship chances since, (as the schools say) the scholarships are merit-based, not need-based.

Hello Yankees15,

You may definitely update the admissions teams; we see not harm in doing so.

All the best!
