cbsag123 Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 Does anyone know if Cornell specifies its rules about writing samples somewhere? I've spent hours looking at various websites but I can't find any information on how long my writing sample should be. If they really don't specify, what do you guys think is a good length?

guest789 Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 I would write a standard paper, 15-25pp with an introduction, methods, results, conclusion. Most schools seem to have a 20pp cutoff, so I'd suggest keeping it shorter if you can. Concise writing is good writing in this case.

Hi friend, Cornell admit from last year here. Timeseries' advice is sound. 15-25pp is good. Edited December 7, 2020 by Mr_Spock2018 Bad grammar. Who admitted me to a PhD program?
