veets Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 I am going to submit my published honors thesis as part of an additional writing samples section for a fellowship application. My problem is that the limit is 5 pages- and mine is 8 (7 without references) in the published version of the article. The application allows for multiple writing samples though, each of 5 pages in length at max. Should I: 1. Attach the first 5 pages in one section and the last 3 pages in the next section of the application? 2. Only attach the first 5 pages of the published article? 3. Edit the original document (originally about 30 pages) down to 5 pages with excerpts about excluded sections? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loric Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 I don't know much, but i do know "did not follow instructions" is a major pet peeve of the folks who read these things. Find something that is 5 pages or less that you wrote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzylogician Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Contact the program and ask about submitting the 8-page published work before you do anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
