What should we write about here? I feel like it shouldn't be left blank but I'm not sure where to start with this. May i ask what you guys wrote/are thinking about? (not to copy but to get a general idea of how to begin this essay)

thanks!

I am wondering the same thing! Also, did most people answer the part about how you paid for your post-secondary education? If so, did you include housing, and other school related expenses (books, school parking, etc)? I would assume yes, but just checking!

Oh yeah wouldn't that be based off our financial aid/loans?

Write whatever you want. That’s why it’s so open ended.

Is there anything unique about your life? I would choose to just write about something interesting about yourself that you haven't spoken about already. Are you a vegan? Do you have aspirations of running a non profit? Are there any clubs you're passionate about? What aspect about yourself will contribute to the diversity of the school?

Honestly, if you don't have anything else to add, just leave it blank. You will hear much advice that would say to write something. But, if you truly don't have anything else, you should not feel forced to write something.

I left it blank on my application because I had nothing else to add. Still got an interview and acceptance regardless.

Have any of you had trouble submitting your supplemental app? I keep getting an SQL syntax error when I try to submit it.

oh no! i havent tried submitting yet :0 i want to but my word limit is preventing me from doing so.
so a question for u - since there's no word counter on the actual UPENN supp how did u go around counting your words? cuz i feel like each system counts words/characters differently

I answered the supplemental questions in a word document, highlighted each response and checked the word count as well as the character count. It's definitely a bit different than other apps that show you how many characters you have used. Good luck with your applications!

If we're adding an experience to the app after submitting, should we mention it in the first question? I'm not sure if they mean to put anything we didn't add at the time we submitted the app.
