My Amherst College application offers me the chance to share an independent research project. I feel as though my application will look incomplete without this, but I’m unsure of if an extended essay counts (for those who do not know, an extended essay is required of all IB seniors in order to get their diploma - it’s a 4000 word research paper on a topic of our choice we do with a faculty advisor).
Here’s the text of the prompt :
“If you have engaged in significant research in the natural sciences, mathematics, computer science, social sciences or humanities that was undertaken independently of your high school curriculum, please provide a brief description of the research project.”
If anyone could give me some insight as to if this is appropriate, please let me know.
Thanks so much!
