Angelicasassy Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 I am applying to some history and American Studies programs that ask for a writing sample. Here is my conundrum- I have a bachelors in History and have one paper that is OK. I also have an excellent paper that I wrote in law school, but is pretty heavy in legalese. However, it does have a historical component. Which sample should I clean up and submit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How difficult would it be to translate the legalese? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hope I can get everything done on time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
