I didn’t submit the optional research paper, but I had a good amount of science and engineering research and activities that I did on my own. I had already written about them on the essays, so I didn’t want to be redundant.

I think Caltech looks for you potential as a scientist or engineer when they look at your application (as in, how good is your scientific mind). Actual things that you’ve done aren’t necessary to proving that you have a brilliant mind, but they do help. If it’s not too late, why not pick up something that you’re interested in this summer and next year?
