No Ben Franklin Essay This Year?

<p>Am I missing something or does Penn only have 1 supplement this year?</p>

<p>Same question. One of the links on Penn’s website said “All Essays” and it led to the page with only 1 supplement, so I’m assuming so.</p>

<p>Yep. Count yourselves lucky.</p>

<p>Nooo lol @kbolisetty23 you’d think so wouldn’t you, but I was really banking on my essay writing skills to maybe save my app lol time to find a plan B</p>

<p>Damn. My class rank is alright (top 4%), but my SAT scores are not that good for UPenn (2150). I was really hoping to take full advantage with the essays; I was especially looking forward to the Ben Franklin prompt. I guess I’ll have to work extra hard on the Common App and Why Penn essays.</p>

<p>A family friend, who’s a current Wharton student, told me that when he applied, there was an optional essay in addition to the Ben Franklin one. I wonder why it’s not like that this year.</p>

<p>This is a little off topic, but do any of you guys know if UPenn allows applicants to send rec letters electronically? Also, are you guys sending in resumes?</p>
