write 10 pages a day for a month?
OR
the question only applies to those who've written their autobiographies (which UPENN expects every respectable applicant to have done by now, that's why they ask this question)

so if you didn't write a book YOU ARE DOOMED!!

Does that count?

no akash, it doesn't count because UPENN specifically wants a 300page book.

but don't worry, you're only 9 pages short - quick go finish!

actually in my opinion the question coulda been understood in 2 different ways: 1-the autobiography stops at age 17 and u submit something that happened in the past ...or 2 your autobiography deals with your entire life and you submit a page of what WILL happen to you in the future, how did you interpret it?
