"Why Penn" essay: it's also "Why course"

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Pennsylvania

<p>If you have a look at the “Why Penn” essay, the first thing it mentions is why you’ve chosen the course you want to take up. I’m really passionate about business, and hence I’ve spent one half of my essay explaining why I want to study business, and the next half explaining why Wharton is the right place.</p>

<p>However, most people I’ve seen on this board seem to focus more on the “Why Penn” aspect…which approach is right?</p>

<p>Also, I’ve used “Wharton” a lot many more times than I’ve used “Penn”, simply because I want to go to Wharton more than I want to go to Penn (please don’t take the face value and say they’re the same). Good or bad to refer to one school and not the university?</p>

<p>Inputs would be much appreciated</p>
