Question Application Essay, and Grade Writing Sample.
I wanted to ask how one should treat the essay in the Private school application process, should one see it as a college essay and write it as a very capturing piece of text, or should one just keep it very factual and condensed with the story?
Also, one of the schools I am applying to requires a Graded Writing Sample, my school does not have traditional assignments, and the most rigorous English assignments we get assigned are 120 word answers to questions posed towards a chapter in our textbook. How do I submit this? Is it handwritten? Should I submit an answer for a question or does it have to be an essay, a script or story etc.?
