UPenn supplemental essay on faculty member

<p>Do you think it's ok if I write about doing research with a professor that teaches at the UPenn medical school? or do I have to write about a professor in the undergraduate school?</p>

<p>Thanks =)</p>

<p>p.s. i'm actually a senior lol i created that name last year haha</p>

<p>Since you're applying to their undergraduate school, not their medical school, choose a professor who would teach you as an undergraduate.</p>

<p>actually, if the professor in question has a research lab or some other function by which you could interact with him or her, then that faculty member would be fine to write about</p>

<p>I would say pick an undergrad professor: there are a lot of people who want to go to medical school, but if you write a well-written piece about an undergrad professor at Penn, then you won't seem as "ME WANT BE DOCTOR". Being pre-med is awesome (I want to go into it myself), but it's not necessarily unique. Pick a professor whose research really speaks to you, and not just because it's medicine-related.</p>

<p>well i didn't so much pick the professor because she was at the med school but because she does derm research which i'm interested in and because it kind of relates personally to me</p>

<p>Then there you go.</p>
