<p>I notice that some schools ask that you submit a supplement material if you have one and some schools merely ask you to submit a brief summary. I worked as an intern at the NIH, so should I mailthe schools the research I did in the labs?</p>
<p>If so, can I still mail them in even thought the Jan. 1 deadline is over? Or should I just wait until they contact me for an interview?</p>
<p>You can still mail them in. There might be a grace period. Just make sure this isn’t 20 pages of research that is unnecessary if you already covered it in your application. </p>
<p>Emphasize it in your interview regardless.</p>
<p>a lot of my schools did not ask me for supplementary materials on their applications, except for Duke that asked for only a brief summary and Harvard that actually wanted applicants to mail them supplementary materials.</p>
<p>Mine is a research report of about 11 pages.</p>
<p>I already emailed my schools about this. So should I wait until they reply first or just do it now?</p>
<p>btw, for the essays that I DID include my research in, they all had only a brief and general overview.</p>
<p>I would suggest just sending the abstract, because admissions officers and science professors have better things to do than read entire papers by high schoolers whose research probably doesn’t relate to their own.</p>
<p>Don’t send it unless they reply via email that they want it. If they want to verify, they’ll ask. An admissions officer not informed on your particular field won’t read the research. They’ll trust you did it or otherwise ask for more specifics if they want to verify/hear more about it.</p>
<p>yeah but this supplementary report is hopefully what will give edge in admissions. </p>
<p>Also, I already emailed all my school, most of them did say it is ok to mail them, and I mailed my report to only the schools that verified it’s ok to do so.</p>
<p>Duke asked for an abstract, but they already asked for a summary of it in supplement form, so I didn’t send on to Duke</p>
