<p>I already asked this over in the Penn forum but I need more advice =P. There is a question for the Penn application asking which penn professor I would like to study with or do research with. Should the question have to be from my major? I am applying to Wharton but I wrote about doing research with a scientist in the biology department because I want to continue researching something I did research on in High School. Should I change it and just write about a business teacher or researcher? any help would be nice, especially if it is quick lol</p>
<p>I'm applying to Wharton but I am planning on writing about a chemistry professor...I'm pretty sure it won't be a bad thing...when you think about it, it may even be beneficial--everybody applying to Wharton is going to write about the same professors; you'll be unique</p>
<p>Definitely keep what you have. It seems like you may have more passion for the biology research. While this is completely dependant on your persuasive prowess, you could ideally show that you have the drive and intellectual curiosity to investigate further. And think about it, how many applicants are going to end up writing cliché, cookie-cut essays just to fit the mold? You don't want to fit the mold; you want to break the existing mold; you want to make your own; a distinctive one.</p>
<p>Haha, sorry for getting a bit esoteric there. I didn't apply to Penn. I'm a freshman at Princeton right now (PTON CLASS OF 2010!!!). Our essays were different, but I'm sure my advice can't hurt. :D Best of luck!</p>
<p>My mom is saying that it will hurt me because it will make the admissions people think that I am not interested in business.</p>
<p>bump... someone please help</p>
<p>bump???????</p>
<p>This is one instance in which it's advisable not to listen to mommy. :D</p>
