<p>I have mailed Penn 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 Penn. I am an international applicant but I am NOT applying for financial aid. Does Penn 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>"Do you think I have a chance?"</p>
<p>Not only do you have a chance, but a great one as well.</p>
<p>did you add your name and social security number at the top of each sheet?? I forgot to do that with my suppletmentary material and am thinking they might lose it now.</p>
<p>I added a cover sheet with my name, high school, common app ID# and my birth date.</p>
<p>I don't have a social security since I am an international domestic.</p>
<p>Any other opinions?</p>
<p>What do you expect to gain by posting here? Obviously your credentials are miles above many applicants. Hold on, I'll call admissions RIGHT this instant and tell them to send you a likely letter. What's your address?</p>
<p>^LOL kind of took the words out of my mouth.</p>
<br>
<p>.<</p>
<br>
<p>Because I am an international applicant, my chances are greatly decreased.</p>
<p>Well first of all, Upenn is clearly not your first choice. You have posted this EXACT SAME THING in almost ALL the top colleges only with the name of the colleges swapped. "I really really want to get into Penn", then what about the "I really really want to get in" ones you posted on Harvard, Cornell, Rice, MIT, Duke, etc. etc. ?? Do you want to go to all those ones too? Which one is actually your top choice?</p>
<p>Hell, I even found this posted in the Ohio School of Clowning Arts forum...</p>
<p>Who are you, really?!!</p>
<p>Yeah, this is weird cause all the colleges I want to get into seem to have this post. Also, Penn is actually a school I REALLY REALLY (like really) get into, I know you can really really want to go to many schools, the way you write make it seem like Penn is your top choice, when it isn't really. And even if your papers are legitimate, Penn might not want to review them, but they could get a branch that specializes in that area to. Of course, this is not guaranteed... and how are these chance me threads gonna help anyways lol</p>
<p>"Hell, I even found this posted in the Ohio School of Clowning Arts forum...</p>
<p>Who are you, really?!!"</p>
<p>XD ROFL. LOL. LOL.</p>
<p>God...I've got cramps now...</p>
<p>I would not include the mathematics paper. Anything that has been accepted to a well-reviewed journal will improve your applications (the bio one). Totally "new" ideas in math tend to be wrong, and can have the effect of destroying all credibility. Trust me on this.</p>
<p>you know, i called recently and they said "we don't do supplementary materials"</p>
<p>which basically contradicts what they told me the first time i called.</p>
<p>:(</p>
<p>For all of you anal people who can't stand a person liking more than one university, I am just going to say what I said once before on the Rice forum</p>
<p>well obviously I want to go to all of these (and applied to these places too)</p>
<p>I think one can really want to go to many universities as long as his/her aims are consistent. And, mine are. All of these schools have really great engineering departments (my area of interest). I am not contradicting anything I said on the other forums. I really really want to go to all of these institutions.</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
