Chem paper

<p>HI!! well its me again</p>

<p>I have written a chem paper. Can I send this across at this stage? I ask this Because my decision is due in one week. Is there any way to make sure that if i send it now, the officers will read it? Thanks in advance</p>

<p>To be honest, I don’t think they want to read a chem paper at all.
And it will likely be too late to be considered for admission (after making admission decisions, they still need some time for the fin aid packages before decisions are due)</p>

<p>Unless you’ve discovered something of the upmost importance, and its breaking news kind of discovery, I highly doubt any admissions officer will want to read a chemistry paper. Except for maybe Middlebury, I wouldn’t recommend sending it to them.</p>

<p>dude, what are you talking about?
r u saying u were accepted early decision and still want to send a chemistry paper?</p>

<p>or, u want to add this to some application u sent in a while back for regular decision?</p>

<p>please clarify, ur post is very ambiguous</p>

5

<p>I have applied ED to CMU, and my decision is due on Jan 15th. I am asking if sending a paper at this stage will help my amdission chances.</p>

6

<p>Nope. Like awaiting-college said, unless its some sort of nobel prize worthy acheivement. It won’t help. You should’ve sent it along with your application if at all you wanted to send it.</p>

7

<p>its defintely not worth nobel prize …ha ha.
Its about Phenol-thiourea and phenol-water systems. comparison of CST etc…
and study of partially miscible solutions.</p>

<p>I won a gold medal at IIT madras for a paper on the GAME THEORY recently. maybe i could send this across?</p>

<p>DON’T SEND ANYTHING.
Admission officers have enough stuff to read and usually are just annoyed by applicants who send extra stuff. If the college doesn’t ask for it, don’t send it.
And besides, it is too late. I am 80% sure that your admission decision is already made, and 100% sure that it will be made by the time your paper reaches the admission office.</p>

<p>I thought sending supplementary documents will give the impression that you are very intersted and very keen to attend that university. Why should they be irritated?</p>

10

<p>you have much to learn, young padawan.</p>

11

<p>I don’t agree that sending additional stuff in is bad in general, but NOW it’s definitely too late.</p>

12

<p>They won’t reject a qualified person because he sent a paper, they won’t accept a non-qualified person because he did.</p>

13

<p>depends on the officer i think…for most of them it’ll be irritating, jst like this thread…</p>

14

<p>

the question you sh;ld be asking is, why didn’t you send them in together with your application before nov 1? it’s too late to send anything now…UNLESS, god forbids, you are deferred.</p>

15

<p>HMM…i am glad i asked this question. Thank you so much !!!</p>

<p>lol…Just about everything I start turns out to be irrititating(@harrygoldstien)</p>

16

<p>I dint send it across because i had not finished it. I finished it only now.</p>

17

<p>Submitting it at this point of time will not hinder/increase your chances of admission. About the IIT paper, if you mentioned that you recieved a gold medal for it. Thats all they want to know.</p>

18

<p>1) will the adcoms know what the IIT’s are? i mean i just mentioned it “won gold medal for paper on game theory at IIT” or words to that effect.</p>

<p>2)I know this is a little off topic- but i heard caltech is one of the nerdiest schools in the world-where all they ever want to know is your science math awards, scholarships, subject scores(which have to be perfect), olympiads etc… especially for intnl’s</p>

<p>3)has my typing improved?</p>

19

<p>1)Mention the name of the the competition and web address.</p>

<p>2)Partly correct, majority of Indians there have 97+, NTSE, Olympiads with perfect/near-perfect score. But i think other EC may matter(community service etc.)</p>

<p>3)Dramatically.</p>

<p>answer no 3 was the most satisfying, joy giving answer i have heard in a long long time. I hope badman and banedon read this post. </p>

<p>query to answer 1) still, would they have heard of the IIT’s. I mean, the web address will not give them an indication of the prestige of the competition or the instituition(IIT)</p>
