BioFreya Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Hi, I'm applying to Evolutionary Biology programs. My senior honors thesis is relavant but it was never published. Should I attach the actual thesis to my application? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biisis Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 If they're looking for a writing sample, definitely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BioFreya Posted November 18, 2014 Author Share Posted November 18, 2014 What if they don't require a writing sample - but there is a place to upload one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juilletmercredi Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 I wouldn't send the entire thing, as if it's long, they're unlikely to read it all. Could you send an excerpt or a chapter - perhaps the introduction, or the discussion of findings with a short summary of your results in the front?

maelia8 Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Does the program have a length limit for the writing sample? If it's ten pages or less, just attach your abstract and introduction. If it's in the 20-30 page range, add on your first chapter/main argument as well as portions of your conclusion. I'd go ahead and submit it, if you think it's good work that it definitely can't hurt.
