Jy3pr6 Posted April 3, 2018 Posted April 3, 2018 If anybody is willing to share the writing sample that got them into a good grad program and GPA/GRE scores, I would be very grateful. Thanks in advance. Descartes blanche, akraticfanatic and ThePeon 1 2
Goonasabi Posted April 3, 2018 Posted April 3, 2018 How good of a program are we talking? lol The most important bit is certainly the writing sample. I have a 4.0 GPA and a near perfect GRE (170, 168, 5.5), but I didn't get into any top 20 programs. I wrote my writing sample in 3 weeks before the deadline, so it's not my best work. But it did get me 3 acceptances and 4 wait lists, with some decent schools in there.

I didn't put my best foot forward for various personal reasons, but I was happy to have the success I did given the situation. I have certainly played the "what-if" game a lot in the past 3 months. Moral of the story: don't do what I did!
quineonthevine Posted April 4, 2018 Posted April 4, 2018 Same - in particular, if anyone has written their sample in language/mind/epistemology, I'd love to read it! akraticfanatic 1
