If you published a paper, make sure to discuss it. I know it's a dense field. Research, Outreach & Teaching Opportunities, Information For Prospective Undergraduates, Physics and Friends: Diversity & Inclusion Journal Club, DOE Computational Science Graduate Fellowship. Most students have to work to find 3 good letters, and those students should certainly not send in extra. Some advice for choosing schools: If you have the opportunity, visit the schools you are interested in. The ability to explain a research project in a couple lines of text is an important skill, and there may be no other way for the committee to learn this information.
