Hi everyone, I’m a current student at a top 50 university but I’ve been wanting to transfer to my dream school, Penn. I’ve been planning out my Common App essay for Penn and it primarily surrounds how I love the PPE program because of its uniqueness and community. I have molded my current curriculum as a Philosophy and Politidal Science major and Economics minor to mirror that of the curriculum at Penn (however at my school it’s just a bunch of political science, philosophy, and economics courses, whereas at Penn it’s more interdisciplinary). I plan on writing about this in my essay. I guess my question is: is this a “good” reason? It’s certainly genuine and true, but will Penn admissions counselor think it’s obsessive or not w good reason to transfer (since I am technically learning about PPE, but it’s not as interdisciplinary)? Thank you!
Just noticed this is posted in the chances thread, my apologies.
If you can articulate what you like so much about the Penn program, and do so in much greater detail, I think the admissions folks will consider it a very "good reason to transfer
