<p>I'm applying ED to Penn (College of Arts and Sciences) and I'm not sure whether to answer the optional question about gender identity. I was designated female at birth but I identify as gender neutral or agender. Penn seems pretty good about supporting LGBTQA+ people; they have a separate building for their LGBT Center, etc. Would it help or hurt me to put my gender on my application? And have any other non-binary people here applied?</p>
<p>It won’t hurt/help you. Who knows? </p>
<p>However, wherever you choose to attend, please notify the college early what your desires on housing would be. They’ll accommodate you the best they can but knowledge by both parties, early on, will smooth the path. GL to you.</p>
