<p>I elected to send in a graded paper separately to a college I am applying to. However, I am unsure of the general requirements for this kind of paper. From the website:</p>
<p>"Good news: You don't need to submit a new essay! Instead, please type a personal statement of at least 250 words, or send us a graded paper from a previous course you've taken in high school or college."</p>
<p>Do you think it would be acceptable to send a one-page long essay defending the right to free speech from my Government class? Or do you think it's more acceptable to send in a full-length (6-12 page paper) research paper from an English class? Should the essay have a grade on it or be a clean copy?</p>
<p>Thank you for any and all help!</p>
