DoktaEvergreen Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 As an undergraduate student, I was fortunate enough to get several publications in research (mod impact factor)... is it douchy if i regard these accomplishments as exceeding typical, average applicants?

murphy303 Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 As an undergraduate student, I was fortunate enough to get several publications in research (mod impact factor)... is it douchy if i regard these accomplishments as exceeding typical, average applicants? i published as undergrad. but i didnt explicitly write that i exceeded the average student somehow, heh. always let adcom determine things like that. i just wrote what i did, mentioned the impact of research in a sentence and what a challenge was for me. btw, not sure i'd put research items in human endeavour?

Don't include it in your non-academic activities. There's already a whole section for it... called "Research Publications". Plus the help guide explicitly states "Research publications ... should not be included in your list of non-academic activities". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fty789pp Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 lol my understanding of the 'high performance' section is that it's reserved for accomplishments like international athletic competition, nobel prizes, etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sirnoodleton Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 I included it in the area of human endeavour. But only because it was submitted at the time of application, so I couldn't put it down because it wasn't accepted yet. I don't think it can hurt IMO if you word it correctly.
