Research Statement

<p>How long should it be? I know it says give a summary but should I explain what the project is, how I did it, and the results? Or just what the project was about?</p>

<p>I provided my abstract from my research paper and the major elements of the procedure with specific materials…It was about a 1 and 1/4 pages…</p>

<p>Does having one affect your app? I’m applying ED and sending one in… I hope it helps make my app “shine”… haha…</p>

<p>cant hurt.</p>

<p>mine’s about 3 1/4 pages of writing and a coverpage… is that terribly long…cause they basically just skim anyways right?</p>

<p>if its just a summary why would it be over 3 pages long? you dont want them to just SKIM it right?</p>

<p>Sorry, I just double checked it’s only 2 1/4 in writing. And I’ve done 4 years of research. Two of them are being published. So it’s the abstract of the first published one and background + abstract of the second published one… I think it’s fair right? </p>

<p>Of course I expect them to skim it. I can’t imagine them knowing too much about my topic which is super concentrated on biochemsitry and I mean that with all do respect of course.</p>

<p>I’m submitting an abstract I did for my IB Extended Essay.</p>

<p>It’s only 300 words max, but enough to get the essence of what I accomplished.</p>
