Possibly. 150 words really isn’t such a big deal, though.

If they had cut off the entire supplement - THAT would have been a shameless ploy. Maybe they should. Let’s be realistic - none of these kids know anything about Penn - or the true nature of college in general.

I think they can be reasonably sure they’re still getting students who are passionate about the university.
