Sample

[omg]

If a school requires a 35-page writing sample, can applicants submit separate parts, say pages 1-16 and pages 20-37 of a thesis that will total 35 pages

or

does the writing sample need to have 35 consecutive pages?

Thanks!

It probably depends on what happens between pages 16 and 20...

If they're asking for a 35 page writing sample, it seems like you should give them something on a continuous topic. Presumably, they want to see how you handle writing a longer paper with one main focus. If the two sections are like that, or can be edited so they seem like that's true, you can probably submit it.
