<p>For the UPenn why essay, it seems like they really want you to get into specifics about their school. Is that how you guys understand it or am I reading too much into the question. I went to their information session but the tour people didn't give that many specifics about the actual curriculum or research opportunities, so should I be doing research through the internet to find this out?</p>
<p>Yes, they want to know specific information about the programs you are interested in and how you plan to use them to achieve your goals. Use Penn’s website to your advantage and/or ask current students. </p>
<p>Yes, be as specific as possible. If there is a certain major you are applying into, mention programs, research opportunities, certain classes, etc. that makes you want to choose Penn!</p>
