<p>Aight so I just got word that the University of Iowa (never heard of them) wants to publish one of my Chinese essays in their annual magazine. Does this count as a "publication" or something similar? I mean I am not applying to this school, but it should definitely help on my application (I'd put it in the additional information section). </p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>Im Caucasian. The Essay is roughly 1200 characters long.</p>
<p>Published connotes passing a peer review process such as for a journal, at least in my field. This involves submitting a summary of research conducted and then some other people deciding it is meritorious and worthy of publishing in their journal.</p>
<p>yeah, that's kind of what happened here. I mean, my essay was selected to be a piece in the "journal"/magazine of this University. It underwent review, they decided it was "meritorious".....so then i guess it counts?</p>
<p>I would put it on your application, maybe even send in a copy of the article form the magazine so they can see the "proof." Congrats</p>

<p>Yes I should have mentioned this was my conclusion as well, I was just clarifying what "published" meant to me.</p>
