<p>I am in a bit of a predicament. I desire to send writing samples to the colleges that I am most interested in but I have a few caveats:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Will they be interested in reading my samples considering they're both research papers, one is 10 pages and the other 15?</p></li>
<li><p>Will it harm me in any way to send them more paper to go through?</p></li>
<li><p>Both papers were for Fascism class, a senior elective at my school, easily considered the most difficult history class. The 10 page paper covers the Nazi rise to power and the 15 page paper covers the Rape of Nanking. I received a 90 on the first paper and a 91 on the second. My concern is that the first paper covers Nazism and may irk some while the Rape of Nanking paper is especially graphic, referencing forced rape and cannibalism, I fear that it may cause some adcoms to think negatively about my application. </p></li>
</ol>
<p>My grades were average freshman and sophomore year but rose greatly junior and senior year and I think this would provide an example of how far I've come and the rigor of my curriculum. </p>
<p>What shall I do?</p>
