Publications As Part Of Application

[PotatoInAlberta 0]

Hi everyone. Does U of A look at publications if you're the seventh author? I worked in a research project that had many collaborators globally - could I include this in my application?

Could: don't know of any regulations stating that you can't

Should: If you have no other research or pubs then include it but I wouldn't pick it over another possible entry

Hey FreshFry - what are you opinions regarding sports and med applications? 

 

Thanks..

... how do you have publications already if you just finished 1st year?

potato, you could include it and see what happens. just be honest about it and don't say you're first author. also, any sports or activities are ok. some people in our class didn't put any on their app and it was fine. it would fall under diversity but that could mean anything. don't stress over the details. just add things that you feel represent you and let the admissions decide.

Along the same lines as OP's question- what section have people been including publications in? Diversity of Experience?

That's what adcom told me.

What would I do in a scenario where I have had two paid (so under employment) research experiences, for both of which I have made and presented posters. Can I list the posters under the Diversity section and group them together for both experiences. 

 

 

Also what is UofA's preference on inclusion of high school leadership experiences with clubs and the sort? I have enough experiences from undergrad to list, but for the diversity section was thinking of grouping my high school activities in one? Is that fine, or not necessary? 

 

Thank you!
