Watching this video just made my face light up with ideas and inspiration for how to approach my Penn supplements! I've honestly been stuck on the second half of the academic supplement for a while and have had no clue how to approach the community supplement despite knowing what I want to talk about, but this video sort of cleared a path in my head. Thanks so much!

If you mean through what means did I send it, through the common app. If you mean to what colleges, I only ended up applying to two schools (the other being Rutgers) since I got in ED, but I used variations of these essays to apply to scholarships and such (I would have done the same had I had to apply to more colleges after Penn decision).

@haleykang8156 4 жыл бұрын

i don't know if i really showed passion specific to my major on my app. the only things that were really geared to my major were my stem classes in high school (which i tried to take the highest level classes). other than that, all my ecs had nothing to do with stem. since, i didn't have any major specific ecs, my goal was to simply show that i had passion. didn't really matter what for because my goal was to show that i become totally involved and try my best when i put my mind on something. that way, my app readers could know that i would approach college with the same mindset of making use of everything they have to offer.
