Hi all. I’m applying to Penn ED. I want to submit an abstract of my research paper, but I’m unsure how to go about doing this. I’m listed as an author on it. Should I screenshot the abstract of the paper and upload it? Should I copy and paste it into a word doc? Or, should I summarize the abstract in a word doc?
Thanks!
what is your research on?
@britdarrow Last year I think, my son uploaded a PDF document in the application.
My research is on stem cells and their role in regenerative medicine.
Thank you! Did he upload the entire paper or just the abstract?
Adcoms don’t tend to read these, for several reasons. Your best bet is a few lines summarizing the abstract, in Addl Info. Some here suggest a link to the abstract, on the off chance a faculty member is asked to review you. But you’re an author? If they don’t know what’s your work, I’m not sure how they can evaluate your contribution.
@britdarrow They ask only abstract(PDF). If its peer reviewed/accepted in reputable journal/conference, its highly valued. My son’s work was published by NASA (he did internship there and he was first author). Even otherwise, if you think thats important/represents you, go for it.
