<p>Unfortunately, I was too busy to write the optional autobiography essay when I first submitted my application. Is there any point in writing one now and submit it late?</p>
<p>I doubt if Penn will even accept it after the deadline.</p>
<p>At this point it will probably not be accepted and/or read. If you still intend to try, you should call the admissions office and explain your situation.</p>
<p>Being “too busy” is more than likely not an excuse that will persuade Penn.</p>
