Yeah. Though with either, the thought that you could know you were in at Harvard in two months time... shivers. That is pretty much the best case scenario for my cycle. The amount of stress that wouldn't have to be undergone!

[Causidicus]

Checking innnnnn!

[CyanIdes Of March]

you are the first person on here to understand my name.

Or maybe just the first to comment on it?

That's what I meant, no one has mentioned it

I use to use Dream Weaver to make websites and what not and everytime I'd open it up I couldn't help but start singing that song.

True story, I had the executable for Dream Weaver also launch a .wav of a portion of the Dream Weaver song. I found it funny long, long after those around me did.

[lawschoolplease1]

guys what are you guys putting for the writing sample section?
I assume people who wrote theses are describing those, but what about those of us who haven't?
are you guys just picking a random college paper?

I put my thesis and talked about the average page count/number of papers I wrote a semester.

I didn't put anything. I feel like I read somewhere that they're not just looking for typical undergrad papers, only theses, published research, etc... but I don't remember where I read that so take it with a grain of salt ofc

oh I didn't realize we could just click "this section does not apply to me"

hmmmm that does make sense. why would they care about a term paper.

Exactly. If you read the question carefully, it's pretty clear to me that they only want serious papers like honors theses/dissertations, etc, not some random research paper you did for a college class.

I thought the same thing but when I asked KB she said to absolutely put term papers with extensive research involved.

[lawschoolplease1]

who is KB?

[Nonconsecutive]

who is KB?

Karen Buttenbaum, former HLS adcom who now works with Spivey. See this thread.

oh that's legit. haha.
maybe we should include term papers written in class then.

[xylocarp]

I think regardless it probably won't make a noticeable different tbh.

let's see some compleeeeetes, harvard

[I'm Feeling This]

I thought the same thing but when I asked KB she said to absolutely put term papers with extensive research involved.

The issue is that they only give us 300 characters. That's maybe enough space to list two papers and give a little background about them. Maybe.

This! I actually had four papers but ended up putting only tree and it basically read: "I had three papers the topics were as follows-"

Better worded than that of course but it was very general and brief.
