<p>Hi, I will be applying to UPenn DMD (digital media design) program RD, and I was looking at the essay prompt for a while: </p>
<p>The Admissions Committee would like to learn why you are a good fit for your undergraduate school choice (College of Arts and Sciences, School of Nursing, The Wharton School, or Penn Engineering). Please tell us about specific academic, service, and/or research opportunities at the University of Pennsylvania that resonate with your background, interests, and goals. </p>
<p>The prompt asks me to write about my "school choice", but if I'm applying to an interdisciplinary program should I write about the program I'm applying for? Or do I have to choose a specific school--because I've heard, if I don't get into the program I'm automatically considered as a single-school student?</p>
<p>I believe every program has a “Main” college. Not totally sure. If that’s the case, I would write about that. It might be worth your while to throw in the other college as well.</p>
<p>I suppose you should ensure the bulk of your essay is on the college you hope to get into if you are not accepted into the dual-degree programme</p>
<p>There’s a different essay for the dual degree programs. You are supposed to concentrate on your main college, which would be CAS I think, for this essay</p>
