<p>I just got an email from an adcom saying Harvard wants me to send in samples of research work I did over the summer (from my internships). Is this normal? And...what should I send in? An abstract, if anything? The email sounds somewhat formal and almost looks like a blanket email...has anyone else gotten this? Sorry to bother, I'm just worried I guess...</p>

<p>Yes, it's normal, but I doubt that it's universal. Send in abstracts and a full article or two if you have them (as long as they aren't insanely long).</p>
<p>Shouldn't be a problem to confirm the work you did. It may be your chance to shine. Hopefully you didn't embellish too much</p>
<p>how do y'all get these personal emails telling you to send in stuff? ***. Why are they interested in one person over another? Hell, I could have sent in research abstracts.</p>
