Procrastination... Join the ride

<p>any ideas about the professor thing?</p>

<p>the only thing i've done for upenn so far is the professor thingy
you just pick a random faculty and be like, i'm interested in his/her research or courses.... at least that's what me and my friends did..
it's only 2-3 sentences, so i doubt that the adcoms will care much about it.</p>

<p>"Who here hasn't started the essays??? and won't until tomorrow morning?"</p>

<p>i'm with you, senior200610
although, it sucks that other ppl are way ahead of us.. :(</p>

<p>About the professor question:</p>

<p>I did pretty much what slackah did...I found a professor who taught in an area I was contemplating majoring in and wrote about 2 sentences explaining why.</p>

<p>kewl thanks</p>

<p>I'm about to do Why Penn... can't be that hard... I usually just do a straightforward thing for the "Why _______" essays about their programs/majors/courses that I like.</p>

<p>Im going to edit my "Why Penn?" essay tommorow and will pretty much write my Pg.217 tommorow as soon as a pick between my two toughest topics</p>

<p>1) My exprience helping my dad run his business when he became ill (Im going to Wharton so business must be a +)</p>

<p>2) Write and essay about how debate gave me direction and focus for my future... use it to help explain why my other EC's are so lame.</p>

<p>I can't decide, if I can't explain the lack of focus in my EC's then I feel like I might as well write rejected on the application right now... but I also feel like I should expand on how I actually helped run my parent's business and the only place I can go into depth about that would be in my pg. 217</p>

<p>whoooo
go procrastination</p>

<p>^_^ i'm not applying to UPenn, but i appreciate this post. Glad to know that i'm not the only procrastinator b/c it's really scary when the rest of the forum's all "oh, i sent all 1921 of my applications three months ago" or w/e. Yes, slacking off for months and then two adrenaline rushed days is the way to go. Actually, i just have to edit. And then edit. And then edit some more. I hate editting.</p>

<p>^ I hate editing too</p>

<p>Did everyone send in a picture to Penn? lol I wonder if that'll have any effects on admissions.</p>

<p>Yeah, does anyone know whether sending in a picture or not will affect you a lot???</p>

<p>Good luck to all of yall. I need it too.</p>

<p>As for a picture, they say it doesn't matter. We're no adcoms, so we don't know. If you don't send one in, don't dwell on it. If you do send one in, don't freak out about it.</p>

<p>Personally, it'd be nice to have a face to match the numbers and letters on an application. But that's just me.</p>

<p>haha. I was more thinking would it help you if you have pleasant features; and vice versa work against you if they didn't like your face. adcoms are people too - and they have Penn students reading them as well :-/</p>

<p>I'm finished suckers!</p>

<p>Omg Blasphemy. Get Him!!!!</p>

<p>i agree, we find him and MAKE HIM DO ANOTHER APPLICATION!!!!</p>

<p>All done! Now if only my teacher gets his rec in, he has a day. . .</p>

<p>I still need to do Columbia lol. Haven't even started.</p>

<p>I'm done with all my Jan 1 apps... just Georgetown to go for Jan 10.</p>

<p>omg i haven't even started to apply yet.</p>

<p>J/k. ^_^</p>
