Will Yale hate me if I submit my entire research paper?

<p>Yes, their adcoms deal with the same issues. DON'T send them more than what they ask for. Rule of thumb: EVERYONE feels his/her work is unique and will put them over the top. That's why they clearly state what they want and don't want -- ignore those requests at your own peril.</p>

<p>Funny thought about people posting "sink you for sure" advice. It is very well possible that advice is thrown out just to diminish your chances. Me, I have my ridiculously unattractive Yale diploma already (monotone, all in latin. Sheesh)</p>

<p>I would love to have that diploma... Latin, Pig-latin, whatever...</p>

<p>Stanford is like Yale, they do NOT want even your abstract. I called them about it and asked.</p>

<p>I've been at an admissions presentation where a student asked about abstract vs. full research paper and the Yale admissions officer said to send the abstract. I hate to diminish anyone's accomplishments, but almost all of the science students I've interviewed have done research at a local university. On one hand, it IS a big deal in the grand scheme. On the other hand, it isn't that unique in the elite college pool.</p>

<p>but do all science students with research send their research abstracts? how good must the search be before it is advisable to send? should I send mine even if my project isn't v good, even by highschool standards?</p>
