<p>Hi all, basically I was wondering if it is a good idea to send a writing sample in to colleges under the additional information section of the common app? By writing sample I mean something that you have written for school that you believe you did a particularity good job on. Thank you!</p>
<p>No! They already have your essay as a writing sample. Additional information is for information they don’t already have.</p>
<p>Agree with limabeans. It makes you look desperate or it may send a message that you don’t think your essay isn’t good enough.</p>
