Hello! I'm an international student and have done at most 2 research projects (both quantitative and qualitative) throughout my high school career. The problem is that both of these papers are in the form of a group although I can definitely say that I've significantly contributed to both (I was secretary for the 1st one and the acting leader for the 2nd one). Should I still try to submit a copy to colleges despite not doing them on my own?
Absolutely! Especially if you are pursuing a major that is related to your research papers. It will show that you are passionate about your major, and are pursuing to make a difference. Furthermore, if you are going into a scientific field, it will show you have prior experience which is impressive
To keep this community safe and supportive:
I completely agree, to add to that it is important to schools to see what type of community member you would be so having research experience as a group could also help show them you know how to work well with others.
