U Penn Supplement Posted July 1st

<p>Well they shouldn’t have written July 1st 2010 then.
Obviously they planned to release it…
We SHOULD complain :P</p>

<p>guys lets send a complaint letter !! i cant wait too long !!!</p>

<p>Right. Annoy the school we all REALLY want to go to… xD</p>

<p>I think it’s because of weekend…perhaps they’ll update the supplement on Monday(well, hopefully…)</p>

<p>PENN ED WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
so I finally meet my competitors :P</p>

<p>Can not wait till it’s released!</p>

<p>It may not be the same every year. '09 mandatory essay was Why Penn? while '10 narrowed it down to social groups/activities. So I would still wait until the topic comes out to write rather than to try to fit your essay to fit the topic that comes out.</p>

<p>My guess is also August 1. The only way to apply to Penn is CommonApp (I don’t think they do Universal anymore), and all the supplements are on CommonApp.</p>

<p>I agree with qazplm, it will probably end up coming out on August 1st.
I’m just so eager to start working on my app as soon as possible!</p>

<p>Well, at least it’s not just me that’s having trouble opening it.</p>

<p>It figures the one school that I actually wanted to start working on my app as soon as possible would put the wrong date. </p>

<p>Do you guys think the optional “Write page 217 of your autobiography” question will remain the same? I’ve already written my page 217, just for fun, and I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about possible topics, so I’d hate for that to change.</p>

<p>Probably - they’re famous for it so I think so</p>

<p>I checked and it said July 15th. Confusing.</p>

<p>yeah, i just saw! penn is already toying with my emotions. hopefully we get different essays because i am not a fan of the 217 question</p>

<p>O hai Penn Supplement I see what you did thar. Wellz anotha week an’ a half of agonyyy.</p>

<p>Here’s the supplement:</p>

<p>In about 250-300 words, explain why you feel ■■■■■■■■ has brought about the best of you-- educationally and socially?</p>

<p>ahhahaha i just saw this thread! You guys are all freaking out like I was! :slight_smile:
the supplement’s date changed to the 15th now! eeeep, can’t wait any longer! hahaha</p>

<p>WAIT </p>

<p>the site now says JULY 15th!</p>

<p>-facepalm-</p>

<p>I went on the website recently and it said it would be available July 15th</p>

<p>Well the common app will be online on the August 1st, so I don’t see why the Penn supplement would come out before then.</p>

<p>the supplement would probably be out on the August 1st as well, like at many of its peer institutions</p>

<hr>

<p>Oops I just read the posts above and read that it indeed says July 15th on the Penn website. Strange…</p>

<p>You guys know it’s really not that big of a deal. I started my app on December 26 and I’m M&T, Ben Franklin Scholars, and Joseph Wharton Scholars. Try to enjoy your summers and have some experiences worth writing about, rather than rushing to get them all done- trust me, admissions counselors look favorably upon interesting summers.</p>
