What guidelines should be followed in selecting a writing sample to submit?
The writing sample should be a piece of analytical writing that you have prepared for an academic program or an employer. Ideally, you should submit a research paper based on sources in the academic field to which you will be applying. However, a piece of analytical writing in another field is acceptable. Please include a cover sheet that provides current contact information of the person for whom the paper was originally written. The writing sample should be between fifteen and forty double-spaced pages, and the applicant must be the sole author.
