Undergraduate / 'looking forward to majoring in economics' - help on one paragraph from penn [2]
ok so basically all of my other paragraphs are good but this one is problematic:
Prompt: Required for all applicants: Considering both the specific undergraduate school to which you are applying and the unique aspects of the University of Pennsylvania, what do you hope to learn from and contribute to the Penn community? (Please answer in one page, approximately 500 words.)
I'm looking forward to majoring in economics and making connections with other disciplines. By minoring in history, I will not only engage in a subject I am interested in but also take advantage of Penn's interdisciplinary approach by linking economics and history. I plan to take cross-listed classes such American Capitalism (Econ 14), where I will learn historical aspects and economic theories to gauge the effectiveness of economic policies. I find it benefiting to learn from professors with different perspectives. By learning about economics from professors such as Francis Diebold, who served as an executive at Morgan Stanley, I will have the unique opportunity to learn from a professor with an executive's perspective.
