Thank you so much for this, I actually got some points from you that was REALLY needing to know before even diving into it. This writting sample is probably the most complex thing I would've done in my entire life yet. I'm applying to an Art and Architectural History Master of Arts. I have 1 month, my brain, a PC, internet and my passion haha. My future literally depends on it.

As always, thank you for sharing the stories from "the other side!"

Hi Tom! Thank you for the useful information. Regarding the writing sample, would you recommend I use a couple of chapters from my thesis? I feel that a single chapter may not be self-sufficient, however, reducing a document from 80 pages to 30 seems like writing a new paper.

Thank you Professor🙏 This is the best video on sample writing. If you can illustrate this with an example it would be great.

I enjoyed your lecture on writing samples. What if someone left the university a long time ago, how will he get a writing sample?

Hello Professor! Firstly thank you for your guidance through this video! Do you provide one on one assessments and guidance for sample writing

[constanceeseh]

Hello Prof, how can we contact you personally ? We need much more guidance from you .

[constancemorara-eseh]

Hello Tom, thanks a million for the information. To use my Masters thesis 192 pages. Do I write all the literature that was reviewed in Chapter 2? And in Chapter 3-Methodology. Do I write everything in the research design and sampling technique? Please, I need your input.

Hi Tom!
Thank you for sharing this information.
Can we reach out to you personally some how for guidance on applications, choosing programs, scholarships etc?

[kojomensah]

Yes it sounds really scary and am stressed 😫

[ifeomajames]

This school requested for just personal statement and writing sample. Can I incorporate my statement of purpose in the personal statement

[autodidact]

One question, prof! How to assuage the fears of the adcomms that the applicant might not be ready for grad school? I heard that explaining not having a perfect track record might make the applicant look apologetic. I also have a professor who advised me to write about my achievements only, but I tried both approaches and nothing happened.

Is policy memo an academic paper as well?

[animator-Prince]

Dear Sir,
My application asks that writing sample must be double spaced 15-20 pages but i am not able to fit sufficient amount of writing in it. Can i use single spacing??
