I hope to apply for a Ph.D. place in 2012; is it possible to send off written papers [as if to write extended articles] as part of the application, to demonstrate competence? I am worried that otherwise the grades for the various modules of my Physics degree that won't end up as my intended specialisation [f(R) gravities etc.] will reduce my appeal as a candidate. I am under the impression that other "extra-curricular" qualities would be of lesser priority than academic aptitude, and I would be very grateful for advice with regard to this intended course of action.
