<p>This would be a pivotal point in the essay. I want to discuss my fears of public speaking and how I hope to overcome these fears at UPenn (through comedy clubs and the like).</p>
<p>I think this topic would make for a fairly effective essay, but I worry that admissions officers would only frown on applicants who aren't entirely comfortable in their skin. What do you think?</p>
<p>P.S. I’m a transfer applicant, so I haven’t missed any deadlines.</p>
<p>clicheeeeee</p>
<p>not at all. I wrote about my anxiety. Good luck!</p>
<p>Seems fine to me, I don’t think it’s cliche at all.</p>
<p>I think “fault” essays are sometimes more successful than “strength” essays. Good luck.</p>
<p>sounds good. just make it interesting and positive. Be very specific and descriptive - don’t rely on platitudes and generalizations.</p>
<p>Nothing wrong with writing about a fault. In some ways it can seem more honesty and genuine than someone who writes about how perfect they are. Just make it interesting and such.</p>
<p>sounds boringgggggggggggggggggg
can’t you write about a subject that’s more interestinggggggggggggg?</p>
<p>Do it if you feel it will bring across your voice. However, makes sure it connect to YOU as a person and how it relates to the bigger community at Penn. How will battling this help you grow as a person and why is this important to Penn??</p>
<p>Yeah. Like cordova said. What they want is basicaly you to tell them how great their school is and how you are going to fit in so well and theres no place you would rather be. </p>
<p>Theres no place like home. </p>
<p>And make it funny. If it is serious and boring the person reading it won’t like it and say blah. You want to try to make them lol. </p>
<p>And shorter is better. They probubly skim it anyway and dont focus on it. So if they want like 4 pages try to make it 1. </p>
<p>That is what I know. Go get em tiger.</p>
