<p>So maybe I'm just really late but I just found out that Penn removed the page 217 optional essay =( I'm really bummed. Earlier in the summer I remember seeing the prompt and just thought of an idea and was in the process of writing it and went onto the common app to see where to submit it and it wasn't there. Then I went online and found out that they got rid of it. Does anybody know if we can use this essay as the common app essay under topic of your choice? And how exactly does topic of your choice work? Do you just write an essay or do you have to address the prompt beforehand? Quick responses are appreciated
Thank you in advance<br>
