<p>I'm applying to Penn right now. I've finished the Common Application andI have a question about Penn's supplement in particular.</p>

<p>How do you make it interesting and unique? I feel like mine might end up like a laundry list of things I want to do at Penn (all of which are absolutely true, but uninteresting). To those Early Decision applicants who were accepted: what did you write about that you think made the difference? I'm applying to Penn Engineering.</p>

<p>"The Admissions Committee would like to learn why you are a good fit for your undergraduate school choice (College of Arts and Sciences, School of Nursing, The Wharton School, or Penn Engineering). Please tell us about specific academic, service, and/or research opportunities at the University of Pennsylvania that resonate with your background, interests, and goals."(400-650 words) </p>

I was accepted ED and I just talked about my academic areas of interest and how Penn would help me pursue them. My essay wasn’t extremely creative. I would use this as an opportunity to demonstrate that you and Penn are a good fit for each other. Don’t force creativity if you think you will be able to write more persuasively and authentically just talking about all of the reasons Penn is the school for you. I applied to CAS, if that makes any difference. Good luck! :slight_smile:
