Can the optional essay be used as the research abstract?

<p>I’ve done research and i have an abstract. should i use the space for additional information in the brown supplement for this abstract?</p>

<p>bump..........</p>

<p>The instructions specifically say they want no more than a paragraph.. I don't think that space is appropriate for an abstract. Maybe include it in your Common App "Additional Information" place under Writing?</p>
