  1. I'm trying to decide on which writing sample to send to my top choice university. I'm applying for a political science PhD, if that makes a difference. My best paper, and my only one that has quantitative analysis, happens to directly contradict an article written by one of the faculty members at the university where I'm applying. My paper specifically references this professor's article and explains how my study is different. She used NES data with a small sample size and I used exit poll data with a larger sample size. We're looking at the behavior of voters in the south, and her data didn't include every southern state, while mine did. While this is definitely my best paper, I'm thinking its not a good idea to use a paper that contradicts a professor who could possibly be on the admissions committee. Should I go with a paper that's more of a literature review, without quantitative analysis, instead?
