I am gathering my documents for admission (apps open in Oct). I'm considering a few writing sample options for my application. It must be a scientific paper written by me. I could include: 1) An excerpt from my Master's Portfolio, detailing a language learning theory's concepts and its connections to methodology 2) A course research project on reading vs oral fluency 3) A course paper which is a discourse analysis of students in my ESL classroom My portfolio was not a study, but a synthesis of theory, methodology, and curriculum development, so I am not sure if it counts as "scientific." Any feedback on which sample to choose would be appreciated! Happy to provide feedback for you as well--just let me know.

Hi! I'm looking for feedback on my SOP for University of California Irvine's Language Science PhD. I am willing to provide feedback in return and DM a file as needed (current SOP draft is attached, though). I'm open to as direct criticism as you want to give. Thank you in advance for any feedback! It's much appreciated. Grad Cafe SOP Draft.docx
