thesungod Posted December 19, 2024 Posted December 19, 2024 I just scheduled my interview for the clinical psych doctorate program at WJC, and I got an email that I have to complete a timed writing sample before my interview. I have a month and a half to do it, but I thought writing samples were something you wrote up and submitted with your application -- not something you had 20 minutes to write on the spot. If anyone who's been through this application or similar sees this... how does it work? Is the prompt related to psychology, or more general? How would you recommend I prepare? I'm extremely confident in my academic writing -- essays are one of my strongest skills -- but I struggle with rapid-response prompt essays like this (if you're going to do an on-the-spot essay, you should at least get an hour to do it properly!), so I'm really freaked out by this requirement, especially since there's no mention of it or info about it on the website.
Gradvibes Posted yesterday at 12:10 AM Posted yesterday at 12:10 AM H! Have you finished it yet? Just completed it. Was not bad or scary at all! I contemplated and procrastinated it for the longest because I was fearful of how intensive it would be. Definitely is not as bad as you may feel. The time limit in my opinion was more than enough for the question prompts.
