Anyone else applying to Penn, how long were your essay responses?

Thanks

I've been putting mines off until now and I'm starting it right now. I don't plan to make the responses too long. Maybe 1-2 paragraphs per question?
How long were you planning to make yours?

Chance: Yea.
Good chance? No GPA way too low and even DAT is below average, so statistically I dont see why they would take you (Doesnt help that you are Asian i bet).

However you got good chance at those Texas school that offer rock bottom tuition...consider yourself lucky!

And btw, what did you guys put for first question??? Why would you have experience that you did not list in the first place?

exactly, maybe anything that you are doing in future?

I was thinking of putting some of the procedures I observed that I wasn't able to include in my AADSAS entry due to the small character limit.

 

[i4everpaki]

any other advice for other questions?

Question 1... list any dental experiences not on aadsas. Only write something that did you like more shadowing since you have submitted your aadsas app. If you have nothing else to add and everything is listed on your aadsas. Then don't write anything. Noone wants to read a page long essay from you. They have to read 2000 of these.

Other questions... 1 paragraph or so.

Mine were no more than 200 words long. My girlfriend told me to just keep them short and poignant.
