<p>I have mailed Duke 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 Duke. I am an international applicant but I am NOT applying for financial aid. Does Duke 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>rawr...someone?</p>

3

<p>i think you got a pretty good shot assuming your papers are actually legit, and not at the same level as some final school project</p>

4

<p>^yeah if you are serious about what you claim to be the content of your papers.

........holy **** that's crazy.</p>

5

<p>Yes, I am not lying about what I did.</p>

<p>I spent like 6 months on the mathematics theory, and about 3 months on the bio one (although it was longer, I spent less time on it because I had a mentor who got a grant just for this paper).</p>

<p>And thanks for your replies :)</p>

<p>Any other opinions are welcome.</p>

6

<p>You mean biomedical engineering right? Don't think "biomechanical" exists</p>

7

<p>In a way, yes</p>

<p>But I would really like to do some research at the Biomechanical laboratory</p>

<p>thats some insane stuff</p>

9

<p>bumppppppppp</p>

10

<p>sure but the admissions officer told me NOT to send full papers..
so idk if theyll actually bother reading your papers</p>

11

<p>Isn't the convention for these kinds of things to just send in an abstract or summary of your research?</p>

12

<p>I sent those along with my papers...</p>
