<p>the title says it all. just felt like making another rant thread.</p>
<p>haha even on CC i think the odds are against us (i.e. less than 50% acceptance rate).</p>
<p>However, I think CC as a whole should nail the "why penn" essay. LOL!</p>
<p>lolll. so true.</p>
<p>now i'm freaking about my "why penn" essay, cuz i just recently found out about CC! >.< i wish i had found it earlier cuz i would have had so much more to write about! well, i already submitted ED so que sera, sera, as my friend told me. so i'm just wondering, what did you guys write about?</p>
<p>Hahaha honestly, if I didn't get into UPenn, I'd probably never go on CC again.</p>
<p>For the Why Penn essay I wrote wrote about two Wharton Alumni who exemplify the quality of a Wharton education but I mainly focused on why I'd be a good match for UPenn and why I had the necessary ingredients for a successful Wharton student.</p>
<p>Hmm, just curious, since i'm applying to the College: why are you a good match for penn and wharton? honestly, i'm amazed at anyone who applies/goes to wharton - it just seems so wow! lol.</p>
<p>I approached it differently, I wrote my why Penn essay in the third person and talked of my first day at the school and of me meeting new ppl, it was excellent, but not better than my risk essay~</p>
<p>I mainly talked about how I showed managerial skills and compassion by building up our school's debate team from basically nothing.</p>
<p>HAHA amazed at anyone who even APPLIES to Wharton? I'll accept that compliment if i get in. =)</p>
<p>Jhum, that sounds like a really interesting essay!</p>
<p>haha, yea, amazed at people who just apply to wharton. i'm a foreign language major, so i stay away from anything business/math related lol</p>
<p>i realized i didn't answer my own question -__-": i wrote about how the college conference at my hs convinced me right away to apply, and how my campus visit confirmed the feeling. seems totally impulsive, i kno >.< i'm not as confident as jhum in my essay....</p>
<p>wow cool idea jhum.. i tried to make it unconventional too..</p>
<p>i talked about how i used to spend friday night puzzle nights with the fam looking at the details of each piece rather than try to construct the puzzle as quickly as i could.. then i used a puzzle metaphor to describe penn.. corners = academics.. side = campus / architecture.. inside = people.. then at the end i said something along the lines of you cant appreciate penn without appreciting / examining each individual piece..</p>
<p>wow...again i say, wow. 0_o</p>
<p>why penn: mostly the course selection, and pretty much how my life sucks. But tastefully ;). I wrote about pretty much the same thing in pg 217, but wrote about the day i got my decision, and left it up to them whether or not i got in. Kinda nifty, i wasnt too high on the writing/grammar, but with some great CC help, i got it too a good point 8 min ahead of the deadline. I don't LOVE it, but for an essay written in 1 day, i think it was pretty good.....</p>
<p>We don't care about you that much.</p>
<p>well if i don't just feel the love. ??</p>
<p>haha, i wrote my why penn essay in one day too. submitted part 2 15 min before the deadline! go me! ^__^</p>
<p>"well if i don't just feel the love. ??"</p>
<p>I wasn't talking to u.</p>
<p>the original poster. How would it be awkward, we don't even know her.</p>
<p>well if i don't just feel the love. ??</p>
<p>shoot, unlike the rest of you, i ws unoriginal and just answered the question by talking about my favorite course, the courses i would like to take, and research opportunities available. I also mentioned the Computer Science Dining Philosophers Club</p>
<p>Oh, no. Not PRINCESS. Haha, well i feel like i know a lot of people on here. Krabby Krabble, Helix, Princess, CMH, dw, hazmat, bongo, yeti, expect_, astrid, come to mind. There's a few others too. Overall though, I'll be depressed if ANYONE doesnt make it, especially one of those guys (or myself, of course).</p>
<p>it's prob cuz everyone here has been so excited and anxious about applying to penn - it seems almost anticlimactic when you don't get in.</p>
