<p>hmm…i have a friend who submitted his entire 20-page scientific research paper (the same one that was recognized by siemens and intel sts) to yale and got in. granted he did also have a 2400 SAT score and APs out the ass and helped to found an international service organization haha…</p>
<p>but what i’m trying to say is that his paper was exceptional at a NATIONAL level and in it he described his ground-breaking research about prostate cancer. so be aware that your paper submitted for your high school class will be judged against these kinds of above-and-beyond papers.</p>
<p>i, on the other hand, only submitted my 200-word abstract for a paper of similar length and quality and actually fared better than he did when it came to college admissions. (he was denied at MIT and waitlisted at harvard)</p>
<p>so my advice would be, unless you think that sending the ENTIRE paper would be beneficial, i would not do it. what i WOULD do is, if you’re asking your english teacher to be one of your recommenders, ask her to mention your paper and how avant-garde it was, i guess, and that would do you justice. </p>
<p>:)</p>
<p>good luck!</p>
