UPenn Supplement Question!

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Pennsylvania

<p>There is a slight difference in wording between the online supp. and the paper one. The online one on the Common Application website reads
" Describe the courses of study and the unique characteristics of the University of Pennsylvania that most interest you. Why do these interests make you a good match for Penn?"</p>

<p>The one on the paper version (<a href="http://www.admissions.upenn.edu/forms/PennAppSupplement_2009.pdf%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.admissions.upenn.edu/forms/PennAppSupplement_2009.pdf&lt;/a&gt;) says
"Describe the academic programs and unique characteristics of the University of Pennsylvania that most interest you. Why do these interests make you a good match for Penn?</p>

<p>Seeing the paper version first, I decided to write about some science research programs that Penn offers over the summer. However, after seeing the Common Application version, I'm deciding whether I need to change it into "I want to study chemistry", etc... Is the difference significant in any way. I may just be paranoid.</p>

<p>Edit: Just hit "print preview" on the Common Application website and I saw that the Application Essay reverted to the second version (paper version).</p>

<p>i don't think it makes a huge difference, especially since they're not too different.</p>

<p>but weird inconsistency..</p>

3

<p>I would call to make them aware of this.</p>

4

<p>They're basically asking for the same thing..</p>

<p>Yea, that's just semantics. Keep your essay how it was...</p>

<p>...and help me with my issues also ;)</p>
