What's a good topic for a writing sample?

"Please submit your personal statement or writing sample." Help?

  • Alright, so I'm applying to a college online and on page 5 it says this: "Please submit your personal statement or writing sample (250-500 words). You may choose a paper you have already written for one of your classes or something new on a topic of your choice." What does this even mean? What should a personal statement include? Help!

  • Answer:

    i don't think i've had to do that for a college app, but pick an essay you have already done or write something new and different. I would recommend what you want to do, your background, and why the college should accept you.
