Which Topic Should I Use for My APP. ESSAY?

Applying to College
1

<p>I am applying ED to Penn Wharton and I have so many topic that I wish to talk about but two questions given in the application. My desriable topics are as following:</p>

<p>Internship at PricewaterhouseCoopers (how it reflected my future career and the lessons I learned; how I was excited to find the words that I have learned in my business class)</p>

<p>Living in Four different countries (try to briefly talk about how I have found myself in each country) - emphasis on IR (I am actually living at another country than my homecountry right now)</p>

<p>The incident at the Math Competition (how I dropped from 3rd place to 4th place)</p>

<p>My passion in trying new stuff and taking initiative (e.g. Magic, instruments, etc.)</p>

<p>I have some more but these are my top choices. The following are the questions in the Penn application. 5a is mendatory and I have to choose one from 6a, 6b and 6c.</p>

<p>5a. 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>6a. You have just completed your 300-page autobiography. Please submit page 217.</p>

<p>6b. First experiences can be defining. Cite a first experience that you have had and explain its impact on you.</p>

<p>6c. Recall an occasion when you took a risk that you now know was the right thing to do.</p>

<p>So, which topic of Penn's application match which of my possible topics??? I would appreciate any suggestions.</p>

<p>You could do 6a and tell about your experience in one of the countries you've been to. Make it very vivid using imagery and descriptions that show how your new surroundings effect you.
If done well, I think it could tell a lot about you. </p>

<p>However it's difficult to really say without knowing more about your topics. For example, what was "the incident" at your competition? Depending on the circumstances, it might be the best option. Or maybe you tried something new once with the risk of failing, but it ended up working out.</p>

<p>That's a good point. Well for the math competition, I was basically 3rd but in after another round (there are 3 rounds), I dropped to 4th and couldn't get the medal. I was going to write about how I was disappointed and how I was nervous during the last round.</p>

<p>For tyring new things, there weren't any risks but the fear that no one will join my clubs. But in fact, my club became the most popular in the school.</p>

<p>I was thinking maybe I could write about the internship for 6a as it shows one of the incidents in my life. But I am still puzzled. I love all the topics up there....</p>
