<p>I feel like my common app essay is pretty "creative" and displays my skill as a writer. So would a more straight forward approach to the Supplement be to my advantage.</p>
<p>Also I am concentrating on telling the admissions staff the specific clubs/activities I would like to participate in, is that a good direction, being real specific as to what I want to do, or should I be more "general" in saying I want to be involved in and try to focus in more on myself??</p>
<p>I have done quite a bit of research on what I want to do at Penn, I guess I am answering my own question but, will Penn just shrug off my specific details of what I want to do?</p>
<p>In my opinion, the supplement needs to show that:
- You will be involved in campus life
- You will take advantage of all the opportunities offered at Penn
- You have done your research on the school (specific things you want to do)</p>
<p>And while you may want to shy away from the creative essay, you still want your essay to stand out - so just saying what you want to do probably won’t cut it. I am taking a semi-creative approach to my Penn supplement, but still conveying what I want to do when I’m at Penn. Hope this helps :)</p>
<p>what exactly is being involved in campus life, like I know I am not going to be holed up in my dorm the whole day and only go to class, but at the same time I don’t find things like Student Government or “Environment” club that interesting.</p>
