<p>i’m thinking of sending in a scientific abstract as a supplementary, but due to a mix-up with forms, i was unable to enter it in a competition and therefore it couldn’t get any awards…should i send it in anyway? i think it’s written pretty well</p>
<p>please reply with any advice, it’s due today.</p>
<p>I wouldn't send it in...it's like sending in an unpublished article. It's useless--they have your grades, ECs, and recommendations, which most likely demonstrate or explicate your ability in science. Unless the abstract details a cure for cancer, I wouldn't send it in.</p>
<p>Personally, I don't think it would hurt. On the other hand, it might not even be looked at or help much either, but if it's good, it could impress.</p>
