UPenn Supplement Advice?

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Pennsylvania

Hi, I plan to apply Early Decision to the University of Pennsylvania this fall, and I have been having some trouble with the supplemental essay. For those who don’t know the prompt:

How will you explore your intellectual and academic interests at the University of Pennsylvania? Please answer this question given the specific undergraduate school to which you are applying. (400-650 words)

I just really don’t know what to write. I plan to apply to Wharton and want to double concentrate in finance and accounting and possibly minor in political science (interdisciplinary from the College of Arts and Sciences).

Any helpful advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Write about why you want to do that and how you’ll go about it. Use intellectual and academic support for your ideas rather than purely pragmatic or careerist support. Some research will help. There ya go, @pugsRus123

They’re trying to see what you know about UPenn. Schools use questions like this to try to separate out those that really have an interest in the school and an understanding of what makes it special from those that just care about reputation/ranking.
