Receiving a possible transcript booster... after application

In order to become a candidate, it seems I have to submit a transcript of the various activities I have taken part in. Naturally, I would want to submit the application as soon as possible.

I am a member of National Honor Society. However, recently, the Secretary position was vacated, and I plan to go for it. However, I only get to make my speech at the next meeting in October; then, the Society will vote.

I am fairly certain that I will receive the position, but I cannot make guarantees at all.

Since I want to submit my application as soon as possible, is it possible to leave that box for "National Honor Society -- Secretary" unchecked, and then later edit my status when I have confirmation of my position (or lack thereof, in which case it does not matter)?

Note: this is for the preliminary application, not whatever comes after that -- I am going to assume that the "next stage" is much like USNA/USAFA in that after you are confirmed as a candidate, you receive a list of things to submit, such as the CFA and recommendations.

I would not include it now, but would add it later if/when you win the position.

You are best to complete it now without it on there and update it later.

If you are allowed to move on to the next stage of the application there will be a Candidate Activities Record that you will complete and your counselor will certify. Additionally, once that CAR is complete, you can still request updates through the file completion deadline; however, you will have to provide verification of those updates as well (usually an email or letter from your counselor).

Great -- thank you! This answered my question completely.
