<p>How would you go about sending a published research paper to a college? What would you attach it to?</p>
<p>I would simply inform the college of the publication, and assuming its published online in some form, direct them to the page.</p>
<p>I do not think sending in a hard copy would be a bad idea. I sent copies of my research paper (obviously not publblished for public access) to all my colleges. All I did was make a little cover sheet with pertinent info: Name, High School, SSN, if you sent them the common app then theres a number on the common app you can throw on there. Explain on the cover letter what it is, and hope they care enough to read it!</p>
