What does Admissions mean by a 'graded writing sample'? Also, how do you PDF?

<p>Do they want corrections in the margins and highlighted text? An 'A' written on the top of the first page? Both? Neither?</p>

<p>Also, I scanned my sample into the computer and it's saved as 3 images (1 for each page). Is there a way to combine them into 1 PDF file? I still have the Word Document, but it doesn't have the highlightings and corrections. My teacher also didn't write the grade on top.</p>

<p>Yes to both.</p>

<p>Adobe Acrobat is a commercial/expensive tool that can do the job.</p>

<p>If you search, there are other free software too.</p>

<p>I haven’t used the above, but it was just the first hit on google “image to pdf”</p>

<p>Here are other suggestions.</p>

<p>They just want a copy of the graded essay the way that the teacher handed it to you. At first, I gave the essay to my mom, and she had a secretary in her office do the whole scan/put into PDF thing for me. It exceeded the limit, so I just took the essay to FedEx Office with a flash drive. I told them the limit. They scanned it, put it into a PDF, and uploaded it to my flash drive. When I got home, I just uploaded it to the application.</p>

<p>We actually just ended up xeroxing it last year and sent it snail mail. That seemed fine with everyone (and yes, as everyone has said, they definitely want it with the grade and comments).</p>

<p>If you scan your papers again, you will probably see that there is a way to scan more than one page into a pdf document.</p>
