<p>I have mailed Harvard two of my research papers. One is in biomedicine and one is in Mathematics. I am interested in biomechanical engineering.</p>

<p>The bio one is actually accepted for publishing in an international journal and I worked on it in MD Anderson (#1 Cancer center)</p>

<p>The other one is totally independent research. I found some flaws in the cartesian system and differential equations and devised a whole new chapter for mathematics (theory of vector curvatures). I designed a whole new plane which looks at each curve uniquely by transforming complicated curves into their equivalents.</p>

<p>Along with these, I have done a lot of research in physics and am working on a paper right now.</p>

<p>Do you think these will help my application by showing them how interested I am in math and science? I also have perfect SATII scores in math II and physics and perfect grades in AP Physics, IB higher level Math, AP Calc BC. etc. 4.0 unweighted GPA. I have only been i the US for 2.5 yrs. I came from in India; I did my 9th grade there and won a lot of national awards in 9th for math and science. My class rank was messed up a little because of the discrepancy of grades between here and India, but I still am in the top 5% of my class.
I got a recommendation from my research mentor (the Bio one).</p>

<p>I really really want to get into Harvard. I am an international applicant. Does Harvard actually evaluate those papers I send in? Because I wish they really read my Math one, since I put a lot of effort into it (and it is something profound, in my opinion at least). Do you think I have a chance?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>I'd say it definitely can't hurt. And sounds extremely interesting, specifically the mathematics one.</p>

<p>Thank you :)</p>

<p>Anyone else?</p>

<p>The Admissions office will send your papers to the appropriate academic departments and invite faculty there to offer assessments of them. My older daughter sent in a CD of her performances in classical voice as a supplemental material. When she arrived for the "Prefrosh" weekend in April, she was surprised to find that the admissions officer for our region recognized her. She said "I can't believe you know who I am" and the admissions officer replied "Of course - you're our soprano." Your papers will definitely be read.</p>

<p>Your work sounds like it constitutes the classic Harvard admissions "hook" - a special accomplishment or aptitude that sets you apart from other applicants with excellent grades and test scores. Their primary goal is to find students who they feel have the capacity to make impacts on the world, and your research definitely puts you in that category. Good luck - I hope it works out!</p>

<p>thanks for the reply. your daughter must be a true musical genius :)</p>

<p>any other opinions are welcome</p>
