I am doing research this summer and have 3 papers pending publication on which I am primary author and another that I am a secondary author. I highly doubt the papers will be published before applications are due. How should I include these publications in my apps? (I'm applying to U of C, U of A and some Ontario schools) Thanks

I am going into my 4th year of undergrad and am applying for 2019. So far I'm applying to U of A, U of C and UBC. Also considering applying to some Ontario schools. GPA: 1st year: 3.54 :( (Full course load) Summer course: 4.0 2nd year: 3.89 (9 courses) 3rd year: 4.0 (Full course load) Based on the fact that they drop the lower year my GPA for U of C application is at 3.95 and I assume the U of A will be the same.
