Oh, I understand there is intrinsic value in doing research. I have really enjoyed it so far and will continue it regardless of its effect on admissions. Even so, I’m hoping that it does improve my chances a noticeable amount. Even more so, I’m hoping that however much it will improve my chances will offset the amount that quitting cross country senior year (and thus not showing passion, four-year involvement, etc.) will be a detriment to my application.
