<p>what did you all focus on for your “why penn” essay? did you put stress on the “why penn” part, or on the “why me” part?</p>
<p>I think i did a really great idea ,i spoke in third person about myself and outlined my first day or two there with a twist with a focus on penn's clubs and environment and how much I enjoyed them with my friends once I was there, It was definitely unique</p>
<p>I talked a lot about the museums, the Kelly Writers House, and the language center because those are all things I have a lot of interest in and it shows in my transcript. So I kind of did why Penn was good for me...</p>
<p>the important thing is to say why YOU want to be at Penn..and not tell them why their school is great...they already know theyre school is incredible. Tell them what at Penn intersts you.</p>
<p>Re en Kam, did you visit the writers house? friendliest people ever. i applied ED to wharton but i might want to minor/major in some sort of english too. Maybe I'll see you there! (acceptance letters permitting... :-/ )</p>
<p>jhm 111, i wrote the same essay as u lol</p>
<p>jhm 111: oops, there goes your uniqueness... lol jk</p>
<p>Seriously Kaoru-chan, you had the same brilliant idea? I had some awesome plot twists though...</p>
<p>did you have sex under the broken button? cause i gave a play-by-play in my why penn essay.. my conclusion was more of a why do it at penn essay though..</p>
<p>yeah, i read that essay. totally X-rated man, that was bloody filthy, nasty man. but art. a winner for sure</p>
<p>i'm afraid to share my topic... as there are rd'ers who might steal it... but if you're curious feel free to pm me... trust me, it's the corniest thing you'd ever hear</p>
<p>um duhh.. everything i do is art.. im just awesome like that..</p>
<p>i can't get pm's to work... i'll post it if i get in... yea right</p>
<p>I was gonna write about wanting to have sex under the button and i showed my rough draft to my english teacher and she freaked out...so yeah, dunno if i shoulda stuck with it, but i didnt in the end</p>
<p>yeah, prob the right decision</p>
<p>last yr.... my sisters "why penn" essay was exactly like urs jhumm.... very creative idea - but i dont know if it is too original =/...
anyway, its prob a little different so it wont matter</p>
<p>GOOD LUCK!
P.S - my sister got it .. was it because of tht essay?? ya never know =)</p>
<p>LOL!!!!!!! wowowow.... if I was a adcom and saw that in an essay, I'd stamp it auto-accepted.</p>
<p>That's genius nonskaterhater.... shoulda done it</p>
<p>I made my Penn essay about me+penn though I didn't focus on Wharton....whoops</p>
<p>is the shaggin under the button just a Penn myth or do ppl at Penn REALLy do it? lol</p>
<p>haha. yea sounds like a winning essay topic. but mine was generic, i just talked about the things i liked about penn by doing a narrative of the day i visited campus and talking about how i could see myself there... it was definitely nothing special.</p>
