Writing about research I'm doing right now in my Essay?

Applying to College Common and Coalition Application

Hi guys.

So I’m doing some research with cancer cells for the past month, and I want to include this in my common app essay.

However, I’ve only been doing it for a month and have not yet finished my project. If I do include it, will they ask the institution about it? I’m fine with them asking, I just hope the college doesn’t think it’s weird that I’m talking about it when I’m still doing it…

Thanks!

You can mention it. But I wouldn’t build an esssy around something you’ve done for a month. If it is part of a larger pattern, go ahead.
