Azsy16 Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Hey guys, what do you upload when a school recommends providing a writing sample? What are they looking for? Does any section of my thesis suffice, or must it be an entire product (essay/lab report)? I'm an international applicant and no one around me is entirely sure about this.

PhD_Wannabe01 Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Hey @Azsy16, In my experience, the best thing to do is to establish a dialogue with your POI, send them your material, and then once you have a good back-and-forth going, ask them these school-specific questions. For me, some schools want the full honours' thesis, others want only five to 10 pages, and still others want a graded writing sample (with professor comments) from a psychology course! I hope that this helps :). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
