<p>......for the academic sample? essays from class? research? creative writing....?</p>
<p>Well, I sent a short story I wrote for English class. Didn't have much of a choice since I've managed to lose most of the papers I've written, but it's a piece I'm proud of so I think it turned out okay... just hope Reed thinks so. Plus it's only a page long (single spaced), so I think there's a decent chance they'll actually read instead of skim.</p>
