<p>Yale allows scientific research papers to be sent as an application supplement. I've been doing ongoing research that I'm really involved in---would it help to send my paper in with the application? Does Princeton allow that? Or is it enough to discuss this in one of the essays? Should my mentor write an additional recommendation?</p>
<p>Don't send in the whole research paper, only an abstract. They do indeed read these, and I know for a fact that mine was read by the physics department here. </p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>How'd you find out about that? Did the professor contact you? Do you like Princeton so far?</p>
<p>Lol, I definitely talked about this before, but yes, I did get contacted by a professor, and then again when I was on campus here. Do I like Princeton? Definitely. </p>
<p>(If you want a more descriptive answer, feel free to ask a more specific question - but over all, I love it =) )</p>
<p>how do you send in your abstract? in the additional information section?</p>
<p>Write a cover letter indicating what the research is and why it is important to you in terms of your academic goals (be sure to include name, high school, DOB etc.) and attach it to your abstract. Stick it in a one of those long vanilla envelopes and mail it to the admissions office.</p>
