Hello, everyone. I am in the process of applying to NYU and UPenn, and I have to write “The Why” essay. My brain is frozen though. Idk how to start! I am trying to look at the websites for the information but i am very confused.
For Upenn, I had an idea to write from my future self, who was already accepted into the university, and is enjoying every moment there, describing clubs, activities, research that I want to do. Do u think its lame? Should I go for a traditional format? Please, help!
I like your “future self” idea! You can always revise it after you’ve drafted it – by then you’ll have detailed the specifics for “Why Penn”. Just be sure to talk about how you will contribute to the university, as well as enjoying what it has to offer.
yeh im stuck on that too
