<p>I entered the Intel Science search and have compiled a project that's pretty impressive, in my opinion (at the very least it certainly won't hurt me). I am applying RD. Keeping in mind that Yale seems very aggravated by extra materials, should I:
a) Fill out the 'Additional Info' box in the online supplement with a very brief description and the brief Intel STS abstract
b) Fill out the Additional info box under the activities tab of the common app with the same
c) Make this the topic of my additional essay (I already have another done, this would kind of hurt me)
d) Send in the whole paper/part of the paper... I'm thinking this would aggravate them
e) In any of the above, let them know I will notify them if/when I get to semi-finalist status? or is that assumed.
Thanks guys.</p>
<p>I think someone else had this question before..... the general consensus was to send the abstract of the project as a supplement. I don't think they'll be "aggravated" if you send the whole paper.. I think they would forward it to the Science Dept.</p>
<p>And you should definitely notify them if you become a semifinalist. That's a really big deal. Good luck :)</p>
<p>So forward the abstract seperate of the Common App online, by mail?
You said they probably wouldn't get too mad at sending the whole paper, but it's still preferable to just send the abstract, I assume? Any reason it would help me to send the whole thing?
Any other thoughts?</p>
<p>Yale actually has an option on its supplement in the Supplementary Materials section that says "Research Abstract" so I think they really want you to send just the abstract.</p>
