HLS App Form Writing Section Forum

[lisazhao]

HLS App added this question this year, and I am not too sure what's the purpose. Everyone has written many papers throughout college career, but which one should we write about?

1. Briefly describe any written work you’ve produced (e.g., college-level or higher papers, articles, theses, etc., with multiple revisions in response to feedback) under the supervision of an academic advisor or professional editor. (maximum characters 300)

Suggestions anyone?

Did you ever have to write a thesis or capstone project for your major working closely with an adviser?

Not really... Maybe I can just write about a paper I did in my writing class?

I would say it needs to be a substantial paper, in order to be worth putting down. What kind of paper was the one for your writing class?

Side note, it only seemed to matter when KB asked me about it during my interview as a conversation piece. So, think about if it's something you're proud enough of that you'd be willing to talk to the Dean of Admissions about it.
