BFS Program

<p>Hi! :] I'm a Penn '15 hopeful most likely doing ED (if I ever finish the Common App). Anyway, I was looking at the programs Penn offers a few months ago, and I was particularly interested in the BFS program. The website says they choose about 100 incoming freshmen based on apps. Is there anyway I can especially appeal to the program through my application or resume? I know I can still apply my freshman year, but ideally I would like to make it in through the admissions process.</p>

<p>Is there anyone who can offer some insight on this? Any opinions on BFS versus the Vagaelos scholars program? (The latter seems to be considerably more difficult, at least to me.)</p>

<p>Thank you!</p>

<p>BFS isn’t anything special. You should be able to get into it freshman year and no, there is no way to specially appeal to the program.</p>
