Hello Brisa, I am presently about to commence with my writing sample for grad school and I cannot thank you enough for breaking down how to go about it so simply. To be honest it has taken me almost 3 weeks trying to figure out how to write the sample, given the 10-20 pages specification. I have just subscribed to your channel, because I loved this content so much. Thank you!!💞💕

Thank you. I simply nodded my head yes throughout the entire video. Whoop! Break it down girrrl!! Here's a tip from my writing experience... Yes, I had to learn the hard way... TURN OFF THE SWIPE MODE ON MY PHONE KEYBOARD. Not only will it not recognize sentence sense or misspelled words or grammar; it will take words and make other words with that original word. Also, proof read continuously out loud and have the support team do the same.

This is exaaactly what I needed right now. Thank you so much for uploading! I've been thinking a lot about my writing sample lately and stressing myself out... I'm hoping to have students respond to a survey at the university I work at and then create a research paper based on the data, but it's been feeling extremely overwhelming haha. I'm so glad to know that other options are totally acceptable just in case I'm not able to complete the research project in time.

[israelokpunyiacham]

Can I submit my Master's research proposal as a writing sample? Though I have already completed my Master's thesis.

[techforexcellence]

Good 👍 content. I'd like to know, I took a gap year to get work experience from 2017 to now and I do not have any publications yet so I'd like to know how if I have to publish a paper or papers just to boost my chances of admission?

Hello. Thank you for the video. I wanted to ask if I can submit my graduation project's proposal with all the abstract and the name of the university or should I reform it as an essay.
