UChicago sociology supplement

[uselesstheory]

One of the questions asked in Chicago's supplement is to outline/describe/propose an independent research project that you could undertake as a graduate student, using citations and explaining possible outcomes and contributions. 

 

My writing sample for Chicago is a research proposal that does all of those things, and given that the application's supplement also asks for a brief description of the writing sample (almost like an abstract), should I come up with another research idea? Or would it be okay to simply state that my writing sample addresses this (I can explain a little more)?

I would summarize your writing sample into 1-2 paragraphs. Sometimes the committee divides up an applicant's packet into different pieces.
