Supplementary Materials? More than One?

[tigerparent]

<p>My D wants to send in two research papers, her Intel project and another one that she is published in. Is this allowed or is there a restriction on how many you can send?</p>

There are cases in which too many submissions, or submissions that do not reflect a high level of talent, can actually work against a candidate.

Students engaged in advanced scientific research may submit a research abstract or a full paper for review by a member of Yale’s science faculty. Full papers are generally more useful than abstracts. Students should also consider requesting a letter of recommendation from a research mentor who has been involved personally with the scientific work. The letter should come directly from the mentor and include your full, legal name (as it appears in your application) and the name and state or country of your high school. If the student’s research incorporated work from many individuals, it is helpful to know what specific contributions the student made to the project.

<p>So it’s only one?</p>

<p>Cause the next sentence says “Full papers are generally more useful than abstracts”</p>

<p>Why don’t you or your D call and find out? That would be the best way to get a definitive answer.</p>

<p>I’m going to send abstracts of the 3 research projects I did along with a resume as “supplemental materials”. Not the two full Intel papers I’ve written.</p>

<p>Just called. The person who picked up didn’t seem very friendly or interested. Anyways, she said “If they’re not too long, I guess you can send them.” when I asked about the abstracts.</p>
