Hey, I was looking over the futuredoctor website and this one in relation to the writing samples, and it clear that it isn't a normal essay but a much more concentrated piece of writing.

In terms of the general structure is it the same,

Intro
General overall statement
rephrase the question being asked
Provide the positions or the points to be made

Paragraph 1:
What point is being made
An example (maybe 2 that aren't closely related, but illustrate that make the point)
An interpretation of the examples together, overall point

Paragraph 2:
The point being made
An example (or 2.....)
An interpretation of the examples as they relate to the point

Conclusion
The thesis statement rephrased
Major topics restated
A good solid ending line


This the basic formula to the writing sample, seeing as it is only 30 mins... i dont see anything that can be added on correct?
