Hello community,
I've been applying to phd programs and just realized that some schools provide an opportunity to upload a writing sample (optional) on their online application but other schools don't even ask for it nor do they offer an opportunity to upload one.
I've been uploading my writing sample only if there is a place to attach it.
However, I just realized it would help if I could upload it to school online apps that don't offer a place to attach it as a file....
Wouldn't it help to give a writing sample to the committee (if its good) regardless? Would I be at a disadvantage if I don't upload it to a school that doesn't ask for one?
For those schools that don't provide a place to upload it, what should I do?
Should I attach my writing sample to the end of my SOP and upload the entire file in the SOP uploading section?
Or email the phd program or grad admissions if I can have them attach my writing sample manually?
Advice would be much appreciated!!!
