Theme: Making History?

<p>Hey, I know someone mentioned about this year's theme for admission, but can someone please elaborate more about it? Is "Making History" for this year or for last? </p>

<p>If it's for this year, do all of you think that you fit the theme?</p>

<p>Theme for admission? Yeah right. "Making History" is the theme for the capital-raising campaign...
A</a> New Kind of University | Penn : Making History</p>

<p>Yeah, Matt. I know it's the theme for the campaign, but someone who works in the admissions office said that the officers were talking about applicants in the context of the theme. In fact, bexline was chosen in accordance to a theme. </p>

<p>I just wanted to know more about it, because I've never heard such being done at an college admissions office.</p>

<p>I would imgaine at a school like Penn they are always looking for students who will "make history". Students are choosen becuase of their capacity to do great things at Penn and after Penn. If the admissions office believes that a student is going no where and doing nothing they aren't getting in.</p>
