<p>Hey guys, I'm applying for Critical Studies as my second choice major and I'm stuck at the writing sample! Here are the instructions given on the site:</p>

<p>"The writing sample should be a review or analysis of some aspect of film, television, or new media; a discussion or application of critical theory; or a published article."</p>

<p>I initially wanted to do a film review but after reading this again, I don't know if that's allowed anymore. What do they mean by a review of some aspect of film?</p>

<p>Also, I have some articles that were published in the local and my campus paper but they're all about beauty, fashion and music. When they say "published article", do they mean that I can just use one of those?</p>

<p>Thanks so much!</p>

<p>In my school’s AP US History course there was an american history movie review assignment, which is what one of my friends used for her application to CS (she got in). I used the same assignment but I talked about a TV show instead of a movie.</p>

<p>You could probably use one of those published articles but they may prefer something film related. I have no idea though. But you’re on the right track.</p>
