Penn has ended a long standing (application) tradition.
After several decades, Penn has now eliminated its unique admissions essay question from its application: “write page 217 of your 300 page autobiography”.
Say it ain't so!
...Good thing President Amy Gutmann was still able to submit page 217 of her own 300 page autobiography to the Wall Street Journal last year!

Awwwww......That's the essay that I got into Penn with!
ReplyDeleteNuts. That essay was basically the reason I got in, and I have this on good authority from Frank Pincus himself. Pity. It's individual quirks like that that add a bit of a human touch to an otherwise humdrum, grinding process.
ReplyDeleteOh Penn! That was my favorite essay of any of my college apps! Just because you accept the common app doesn't mean you need be generic. Dislike!
