strokefmidnight, Thanks for the comments. I am actually talking about the Humanities programs in the Humanities Departments. And I know my interests into the field that I am planning to work on. It just the writing sample requirements, just writing samples.

oiseauaudio thanks for your advice.

Hi all, I am new to the forum...and is in the process of applying to a MA Humanities Program in SFSU. One part I am very confuse is the Writing Samples. I am not required to write any thesis paper when I was doing undergrad, which is a decade ago. The school requires a Writing Sample. No length, no any specific requirements. Just a writing sample. I even called the Department for specific details. They told me I can submit any lengths I want, anything I want. So I am not sure where to go. Since I saw some posts said 5 pages, some said 25 pages and I am confusing like hell. Also since I will need to start from scratch, I don't know what to write on. Since my undergrad is accounting, which no long essay. Even essay were just a bunch of balance sheet and cash flow statement. I was thinking if I should compare 2 ethic theories that I had learned and wrote about them in a local city college class recently (just about a page long about 300 words essay). Or I should analysis the 2 ethic theories and put in a bunch of personal perspective in it. Please kindly help. Thanks.
