PhD in IR: Writing sample

[pttlm]

Hi all,

I plan to apply to various top tier PhDs in International Relations, but my most brilliant writing sample is not related to IR, but to the organizational structure and distribution of power in small religious groups. May it be possible to submit my paper on that issue, or will it spoil my application to PhD in IR?

I was even thinking about writing a paper on IR ad-hoc as the writing sample of the application... I don't know what to do...

Thank you sooooooo much for your help.

Sincerely

How long is your writing sample gonna be?
