Publications on CV

[Eme19]

Can you mention a submitted paper but not yet reviewed/accepted on CV? If not can I talk about it in my SoP? I'm a first co-author on it and we submitted it to Immunity so pretty high IF. I'm hoping that would help my very low GPA out some if I mention it but since it's not accepted yet I didn't want to jump the gun. Ad comms could potentially consider it bad form? Also I think my PI might have mentioned it in her LoR anyway so maybe there's no need in the first place to reiterate?

Even profs have submitted manuscripts on their CVs, so it's definitely okay to include them. However, don't mentioned where it's submitted (since it might not get accepted there, and then you'll submit it somewhere else). Usually it's just

Author, A.B., Author, C.D., & Author, E.F. (submitted). Title title title.
