<p>Sorry for the late responses, guys! School’s murder right now, and it doesn’t help that basketball season has started, haha.</p>
<p>@9jaborn - I believe the Common App has a general section for “additional info”? I would assume that you could post your creative writing there - the admissions officers would surely figure out what it was supposed to be. I’m not exactly sure if you can submit a portfolio or not, given your major, but I would assume that you can. I don’t see why you couldn’t. This is definitely a question that you should take to your admission officer, as they’ll be able to tell you the details.</p>
<p>@phoenix88 - Yes, you understood it correctly. Each course fulfills one “area of knowledge” and two “modes of inquiry” simultaneously, although sometimes a course will have only one “mode of inquiry” attached to it (it depends on the course). I would say that it would take at most two years (four semesters) to complete all of the t-reqs. I’m only in my first semester and I’ve already fulfilled a good chunk of my requirements. I’ll probably be finished with my t-reqs after my third semester, if that tells you anything. I think that would be 12 courses, so about 1/3 of my time here.</p>
<p>@hotpongtato - Yeah, of course I’ll look at it! You can PM it to me. I may not have time for it this week or next (finals are starting - gulp), but I should definitely be able to take a look at it after the 15th. And don’t worry, mine was very long. I don’t remember how long it was exactly, but it definitely exceeded the “suggested” word limit.</p>
