Can ANYONE explain the question?

<p>I am applying to te 7-yr accelerated dental program and have to answer an addition essay question.</p>

<p>FIRST: how long does the length have to be? It doesnt say</p>

<p>Secondly: can someone better describe what the question is asking for?</p>

<p>Discuss your reasons for aspiring to a career in dental medicine. How might Penn's accelerated Bio-Dental Program help you to meet your professional goals?</p>

<p>THanks</p>

<p>Why do you want to be a dentist/orthodontist whatever. How will Penn’s Bio-Dental Program help you reach your goals?</p>

<p>Well obviously it will help because it will make me into a dentist?</p>

<p>It is a typical open-ended college essay question. You can make it whatever you feel would be applicable. You may try to find something distinguishable in the program at Penn from other schools and try to expand on why it is good for you. Maybe you can try to incorporate it into how it fits you and adding some special personal story that explains why you are interested in this program. Otherwise, you can just use that one sarcastic sentence you wrote in #3, and see how it works?</p>
