They want to know Why Penn -as opposed to others schools- what programs/ courses/research/activities that Penn offers can help further your intellectual interests so you need to discuss your intellectual interests in Bioeng and why Penn for that first and foremost but I can see connecting that with your passion/interests for genealogy and immigration patterns - maybe a sociology or anthropology minor?

The two interests aren’t that far removed from one another… you could connect it -It’ll make for a great essay and Penn’s interdisciplinary policy will allow you to pursue both intellectual interests. My advice would be to research what courses, seminars or research opportunities Penn offers in both areas and elaborate on what you see yourself partaking in.
