Successful Writing Sample Examples?

[Rook ie]

I did a bit of looking around but I couldn't find specific examples of successful samples (especially in top 10 PGR programs). Does anyone know of any samples that have been posted, or would they be willing to share their own?

Hey Rookie,

I'm also applying for Phil MA this cycle, and I've found a few resources:

https://www.uvm.edu/wid/writingcenter/tutortips/philosophy.html (General advice on the writing sample, includes a few examples of successful undergrad papers)

https://era.ed.ac.uk/handle/1842/1746 (Some graduate theses in philosophy)

Neither of these are successful writing samples per se, but they're in the ballpark.

If anyone has a successful sample they'd be willing to share, I'm also interested.
