Would research papers be a good addition to my college application?

5 answers

Hi, I may sound really really nerdy but I like to research things in my free time. I have written many and stored them in a folder on google drive. I was wondering if it is worth it to put it in my college application.

    No, not unless they were peer reviewed and published.

    Only if the school asks for them, which is rare. Most colleges do want a writing sample, but it will be an essay on a subject that the school asks for, and generally will not be based on research. Perhaps you can make mention of this hobby in your essay.

    If nobody critiques them then they are just for your own edification, and of no interest to a college admission board.

    No, it doesn’t fall under EC. Perhaps under What are your hobbies. It is a a very minor thing to mention.
