Research Supplement

<p>Hi All,</p>

<p>I am looking to send in a Research Supplement of about 50 pages. I'm a bit confused as to what they want.</p>

<p>Would it be possible to email a pdf across? Or do I need to print it out and actually post it across? I'm an international so it would take a long time to go across.</p>

<p>I have a letter from my Research Mentor, would they want that also? In addition, should I send the entirety of my project across or just some select pages? I also have a website and video, would it help to include that?</p>

<p>Thanks,</p>

<p>Admissions Directors do not have the time to read a 50 page research paper, as they only spend about 15 to 20 minutes evaluating each applicant. They might read a brief letter from your Research Mentor and possibly pass along your website and video to a specific department for evaluation.</p>

<p>Harvard’s file room does not open email attachments, so your mentor will need to fax or send their letter in separately. You can include links to the website and video on the Additional Information section of the Common Application.</p>
