Research as an EC?

<p>I had done research throughout my junior year and the summer after my sophmore year. During the summer, I worked with a doctor and observed autistic children undergoing chelation therapy, and throught the school year I did independent research on the behaviors and responses of autistic children.
The problem is, how do I prove to colleges(the Ivy League), that I really did this?
The doctor I worked with currently is unable to write me a letter of rec, because he is out of the country.
Do colleges require you to write a phone number for them to check on the application?
What if they think that I am lying?
HELP???!!!</p>

<p>I’m not an expert, but I think they expect you to be honest with your application. So what you say will be taken as the truth, but maybe you have a paper/science fair/some other evidence that you can cite. </p>

<p>also, I did research over the summer, but how did you manage to do it during the school year? Because I would love to, but I don’t know how it would work out…</p>

<p>I often did it during the weekends. My brother is autistic, and at his school there would be weekend classes for autistic children to interact. There, I would write notes and observe their behaviors to certain stimulants.</p>

<p>You don’t neeed to prove anything. The admissions commitee may verify any information you send. If they find any substantial omissions or errors, you get REJECTED.</p>

<p>Have the director of the school write your LOR.</p>

<p>How does the commitee verify the information without the applicant giving any phone numbers or names?</p>
