A graded written paper is also a necessary aspect of the Princeton Supplement application. The graded paper will help the admission office assess your written expression in the academic setting. It could be a paper, essay, research paper, or essay exam and must be written in English. It should be an expository, not creative writing done for an academic course preferably an English, Social Studies, or history course done during your last three years in school. A page or two is sufficient and it should include the instructor's grade
