<p>How would the college adcom view "planning to submit paper to ______ journal very soon"?
This claim would be confirmed by professor-mentor. The professor's email would also be provided in said update.</p>
<p>that’s fine, I think. I basically did similar in saying that I submitted. In essence, they care that you have the possibility and capability to be published. The supporting confirmation from your professors cant hurt either =)</p>
