Undergraduate / penn essay (For Freshman Applicants only) [3]
I have a few comments.
How was your Uncle in high school and how did UPenn change him? Go more in depth, it sounds interesting.
Another comment I have is that you may not want to make the city one of your main reasons for wanting to go to Penn. I'm saying this because when I went to visit Boston U, they told you not to write about the city because A) they want you to come for their school not the city and B) If you want to live in that city so bad you could just go to any other school in the area (Drexel University is right next door to Penn). Why is Penn so special? But its just a thought.
You should also mention what you want to study. Do you like business? science? art? literature? I understand if you are undecided but you should still make something up.
Hope this is helpful
