I have a published research paper (not a great journal, just publishes quickly) in pattern recognition/biometrics (CompSci). I am not very sure of its standard. Although I would submit it after some edits.
-So should I send a different (but same topic) unpublished research paper in the supplementary material?
-Or would a letter of rec from the professor would suffice?
and if i had to send an abstract, I would not send the published one.
-Basically, will my chances of admission be reduced if they do not find the paper impressive?
btw, international student where its terribly difficult to get involved in research.
