Why would you not write a personal statement?

ospad92

because my college counselor and the applicastion said it was optional, so I didnt write one...might regret it though. If I don't get in, i'll reapply and send in a personal statement

You can't apply again this year if you get rejected. If a college says something is optional it really is mandatory unless you're too good to miss, and you're not too good to miss. You probably will still get in because it's penn state, but if you don't I guess you know.

i e-mailed the admissions office my personal statement. They've added it to my application.
