<p>I’m involved in a research project at a local university and am the co-author of two scientific papers. I contacted the Brown admissions office in regards to submitting the papers, and they suggested that I send in the abstracts by fax. I will include a note with the abstract to provide my name, etc. and explain what it is, and I was wondering who I should address this to. </p>

<p>Brown Undergraduate Admissions Committee? </p>

<p>Dear Brown Undergraduate Admissions Committee?</p>

<p>Whadoido?</p>

<p>No one?</p>

<p>Keeping or losing the “dear” shouldn’t really make a difference.</p>

<p>Since a clerk in the admissions office will be dealing with this, I don’t think it matters. The decision on your application does not rest on how you address this fax.</p>

<p>Business format would be:</p>

<p>Date:
To: Brown University Admissions
From: Your name</p>

<p>haha i dont see how an entire committee would be dear to you. =)</p>

6

<p>Did you talk about the papers in your application? If so this may be a waste of time.</p>

7

<p>I think “Dear” would be fine, at least for me, they use it with the letters they send us!</p>

8

<p>Be sure to look up what information they want on any faxes or letters. I think it should include your name and your address. Maybe birthdate. How you address the letter attachment does not matter.</p>

<p>Yeah, actually sent the letter today and realized my post was pointless. This whole process has left me unable to think straight.</p>

<p>I mentioned that I’m involved in research and that I’ve co-authored two papers. No further details were supplied, and so the abstracts are necessary to give them a feel for exactly what my research dealt with.</p>
