Hello! The main project I worked on during my gap year is being submitted within the next two weeks (i.e. before primaries are transmitted to schools on June 27th). I will be submitting tomorrow after one more review of my app. Would it be appropriate to include a sample citation of this paper and indicate that it was "submitted to ____", with the blank at the end being the journal? I would really love to include this paper since I worked on the project beginning to end and will be 2nd author.

Otherwise, should I not include this at all or just indicate that it is in preparation?

Include in the research description that your lab is preparing a paper for submission
Later in a secondary essay if it has been accepted you can mention it

Please refer to this thread where AMCAS application activities are discussed in expert detail.

Please Note: This is a particularly difficult section of the application. On almost every point there are differing opinions, and ultimately you need to create the work and activities section that is best for you, but being consistent is important. Take all advice offered here as a piece of the solution, but often not the ultimate word on the subject.

This FAQ is a work in progress and has been built by many contributors over many years. Any suggestions are welcomed and appreciated, especially when editing is needed to reflect changes in the AMCAS application form.
