I can’t seem to find them anywhere!
Thanks!
Please use this space to discuss your activities (other than academic work) during the last several years (for example: school organizations, jobs, athletics, the arts, community service, religious groups, or other individual interests). We suggest a limit of 500 words or fewer.
Please tell us something about yourself, your experiences, or activities that you believe would reflect positively on your ability to succeed at Penn State. This is your opportunity to tell us something about yourself that is not already reflected in your application or academic records. We suggest a limit of 500 words or fewer.
The latter is optional. Google the Penn State “Applying on the Web Worksheet.”
@bodangles so it’s not a legit essay? also, why can’t I find this on the app?
Did you look up the instructions like I suggested?
And I don’t want to screw anything up for myself since I already go here and don’t need to have an app active, but I was able to log into MyPennState (https://admissions.psu.edu/MyPennState/index.cfm/home/index) and can see the rundown of the components of the app. Under Additional Information, it lists:
Admissions Information
Activities (the first prompt I copy/pasted in my first response)
Personal Statement (the second prompt I copy/pasted in my first response)
Just like the Applying on the Web Worksheet (http://admissions.psu.edu/My_Admissions/pdf/appworksheet.pdf) says, as I noted before. So I have no idea why you don’t see it on the app, as by all accounts it seems to be there. Maybe you’re not at the Additional Information section yet?
@bodangles yup that’s it… thanks so much!
