Hello,
In summer, I wrote a paper on use of Laplace Transform method for solving PDEs the arise from hydromagnetic flow, and showed the validity of a numerical method when the laplace transform method fails. But I am not sure if the paper is good enough to be submitted as a supplement for Princeton Application. Can anybody here help me decide whether to submit or not?
If you have on your application that you wrote the paper there is no reason to attach an abstract as a supplement.
@happy1 No, I haven’t written it on my application since I didn’t write the paper in a research program or something. It was totally my own work.
I would not submit an abstract unless you are certain it is of outstanding quality. FWIW I would give the same advice about any tyoe of supplement (ex. music, art, etc.).
@happy1 How can I know if it is of good quality for a high school student? Is there anyone here to check an give any comments?
Bump!
Show it to your math teacher.
OP are you referring to the writing supp P asks for or just something additional? If it’s the former, you need to go back to the description of what P wants for that. If this is just an added piece, sure, but ask yourself what you think adcoms will do with it, how they’d react to something written without any critique. Btw, an abstract can be edited down to just a few lines, enough for them to get the idea.
@lookingforward I was talking about an additional one, which I had written under my cousin’s supervision (phd student in gatech). I have no idea how adcoms will react. That’s why I need help from someone here.
Just for info, the paper got accepted from a conference but I thought the conference was a scam (too general name, not much info about the people attending).
