I’m currently 40 words under the minimum for the Penn supplement of how I will explore my intellectual and academic interests at their school. I mentioned a student organization which interests me and it’s related to computer science, which I want major in, so it’s still related to the prompt. Could I also add that I’m interested in one of their club sports, or would that be considered as drifting from the prompt?
I would not include sports. But you can talk about classes you might take as well as outside class interests, research etc.
I ended up including just one sentence about it in my paragraph talking about the community at Penn. I don’t think it seems out of place.
