Campus Visit Notes for University of Pennsylvania:
Visit Description:
When I first visited Penn, my parents just kind of drove around and I was, needless to say, not impressed. However, after taking the full tour and talking to various admissions officers, students, and directors, Penn has definitely become my first-choice school.
