<p>mind share how you have answered this question? =)</p>
<p>my answer to this was TERRIBLE. i wrote about a like fellowship prof or something? and about how he studied psychology that related to society and how i wanted to do communications, but did not want to give up my scientific background, so it would be cool to work with him so i could learn not just about how but why. idk it was bad.</p>
<p>Mine was pretty bad as well. The character limit was a real pain. </p>
<p>I just talked about the standing of the professor, what benefits there would be to studying under him, and most importantly (I believe) why this professor stood out to me.</p>
<p>My girlfriend goes there so I asked her to tell me about one of her professors and a specific experience in the class.</p>
<p>so you go on their website and it can link you to different departments</p>
<p>then on each department’s website they have their list of faculty</p>
<p>I clicked on a random professor and it led me to her web page where she had a bunch of essays posted and short descriptions of her recent research sh1t. I skimmed through some of it then summarized something she did and I said I wanted to do that [heheheh]</p>
<p>what I’m basically trying to say is that it was a mess. but my other essays were hawt so it turned out kk</p>
<p>My answer was terrible to this. I think it’s more of a weedout question (as in, people who don’t really want to go to Penn groan at the thought of another essay…especially one they can’t just copy and paste)</p>
