She will be trying for an individual studies concentration - largely English and Social Studies courses (History etc.) How hard is it to justify the concentration? How hard are the essays that they want? What are they looking for?

My Individual studies concentration is in Business & Healthcare Management. Supposedly, it's quite dooable to justify your concentration. They are simply looking at your wrinting skills and your ability to support and show reason for your choices. You have to write one essay and then anothey short answer about 100 or 300 words (I don't remember exactly). I just submitted mine and am waiting for approval (they say it can take about 4-8 weeks).
I was told to submit it early so if there's something wrong or they don't appprove it, you have time to redo it.
Hope that helps....Good luck
