  1. This feedback is really helpful! Thank you so much. Would you submit a paper that has been reviewed and polished many times but might be slightly redundant (the proposal) or new material (the term paper)?
  2. Thank you! That is all really good advice and I will definitely ask his opinion. You're right that the proposal is basically a longer, more detailed version of the portion of my SOP where I talk about my experience/research interests, so it would definitely repetitive. The term paper is 15 pages though and that just seems annoyingly long for them. I will keep asking around about it. Thanks again for your feedback.
  3. I'm currently applying to graduate atmospheric & oceanic science programs. As a physical science applicant, few programs require writing samples. Is it a good idea to submit one anyway? I believe my writing skills set me apart from other students, but on the other hand, I should be able to establish those in the SOP. Unfortunately, I do not have any published work or senior thesis to submit. I have considered submitting either 1) The two page research proposal I submitted for funding for my current project. (OR) 2) A term paper from a remote sensing course that would establish my ability to technically write (the paper goes in depth in aerosol attenuated backscatter retrieval). Both of which have downsides. The proposal has been combed over extensively, and I received a lot of feedback from my PI and supervising post-doc so I know it's a good piece of writing. But I also feel weird submitting something I got so much feedback on, especially because I am applying to the university I currently attending. The term paper might not fit because it's very long and hasn't gone through as much revision as the proposal. Any thoughts? Thank you!
