Supplementary Research

[conner]

<p>Hi everyone,
I have been looking around CC and see that some people are submitting research with their applications. I'm a junior now and I'm interested in going to HYPMSC for college and majoring in physics or math (idk yet).</p>

<p>My question here is how much benefit is gained by including Supplementary research with your app? I know it must depend on what is being submitted, to be honest I don't really know what research really gets submitted? Another thing I'm wondering is how big is the research being submitted; I mean how long are the papers because I wouldn't assume they have time to read everything. Or is an abstract just submitted. I hope I am not put at a disadvantage for not have any research, although I'm probably going to start looking for some opportunities. </p>

<p>Thanks. I know I asked multiple questions but if you can provide any information on this that would be great.</p>

<p>If you have the opportunity to do research, that’s wonderful and awesome! Send in an abstract! </p>

<p>If you don’t have such an opportunity, you won’t be looked down on for it. Plenty of MIT students come in with absolutely no research - we generally get it while we’re here, in the UROP program :)</p>
