How do You Interpret this UPenn Essay Prompt?

<p>This is the prompt for the required essay for UPenn:</p>

<p>Benjamin Franklin established the Union Fire Company, The Library Company of Philadelphia, the American Philosophical Society, Pennsylvania Hospital, and of course, the charity school that evolved into the University of Pennsylvania. As they served the larger community of Philadelphia.</p>

<p>Which of the academic communities and social communities that now comprise the University of Pennsylvania are most interesting to you and how will you contribute to them and to the larger Penn community?</p>

<hr>

<p>okay so I was wondering what they would qualify as "academic communities and social communities." Is the question broad enough to include those in your major or is it about specific groups and clubs?</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>I think that they do include those in your major. The essay prompts are usually very broad and open-ended.</p>
