Hi,
I've applied for the early action round of SIPA and I discussed about the NGO regulation in essay 2 writing.
You said "How can I possibly address a policy recommendation seriously in 200 words? ", I definitely felt the same.
In my writing, I did not focus on offering detailed recommendation to address my "resourcefulness", but my critical thinking about existed regulation articles. In other words, I focused on "why" I want to change the policy but not on "how" I want to change it.
After all, I am no professional but only a student with some internships in related fields. So I chose not to offer perfect suggestions but analyses of the "problematic" policy as in-depth as possible.
But, everyone definitely has different approaches because of different backgrounds, experiences and different policies to discuss.
I hope what I said make sense to you, and good luck~
