<p>Hello!
I'm an international student doing the IB diplomme.</p>
<p>I have to send a graded writing sample to colleges and I'm having doubts.</p>
<p>Should I send them an English (A2 higher level) essay (1100 words) on topic:
Referring to at least two literary works you've studied, explain what is meant by the phrase “ a strong character” - here they would see my writing and analytic skills</p>
<p>or </p>
<p>the first phase of internal assessment in psychology (higher level) (1700 words) which is obligatory in ib - we are testing a theory of gender schema (replicating two experiments done by famous psychologists) and here u can see my introduction, description of my experiment (research questions, hypothesis, null hypothesis, design- methods, participants then procedure, instruction, consent form, debriefing letter, questionnaire). this would show my organisational, analytical skills, how precise i am but also my writing.
my teacher recommends me to send it to show that the ib is different and in a way harder than the rest of "regular" school.</p>
<p>please help me out, i have a few days to decide and have to send it all by 1.1. and it takes 2 weeks from europe to america by snail mail plus holidays r coming.</p>
