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)

So this is what we're all talking about, right... not that I'm really considering applying, but if like all the work I do professionally fits this criteria (professional editing, multiple revisions, etc), would saying something to the effect of

"in my role as a copywriter at XXX, I have written content for companies including XXX, published on XXXXX..."

Or is this academic writing only?

To me this is the part that stopped me from putting anything in: "under the supervision of an academic advisor or professional editor". Because I've done some 20 page papers for classes but nothing that was supervised by my academic advisor, or a professional editor. Soooo... left it blank.

I think when they say academic advisor they mean anyone who would give you advice academically on your work- like a professor. So if you had to turn in multiple versions of a paper or go over research methodology with your professor that would count.

seems like a major goober move to put random papers from undergrad classes on that section lol

So no answers regarding the professional writing question?

If the process involves multiple rounds of editing by professionals I would assume there is no harm in putting it in there, just be sure to elaborate a little on the process. If you feel like you really need to know whether your experience counts you can always contact the admissions office. But if I were you I would just put it in.

Professional writing: academic work that amounts to either a capstone thesis or a published work. IMO

do you think it would help if I included an elle woods style video?

do you think it would help if I included an elle woods style video?

absolutely. I have mine ready for if I get waitlisted.

In all seriousness, I bet someone has done this.

[LSATneurotic]

"do you think it would help if I included an elle woods style video?"

I'd probably try begging first. If that doesn't work, perhaps a well placed threat would do the trick. It's never too early to express your enthusiasm

true true. ty for the advice. in my initial begging email I'll be sure to mention that my 2222nd post is in the Harvard thread, that sort of thing impresses adcoms right?

TLS is the only way I can impress adcomms, so I hope so

Do not underestimate TLS thread number voodoo (seriously 100% success rate here)
