hejduk Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 I didn't do a thesis, so I have very few great writing samples to send. My best sample is a paper a friend and I submitted in grad school. Would programs look at me like I'm crazy if I submit this paper? I want to be ethical, and not pretend like I wrote the paper myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows, may be some of them do... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adaptations Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 You should ask the specific program, but everything I have heard has said that schools do not accept coauthored papers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry Hudson Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 It seems unlikely, frankly. It could easily be interpreted as mostly our co-author's work, and it would beg the question of whether you can write anything decent on your own.
