<p>Essay prompt: 500 words Max.</p>
<p>++ Please tell us something about yourself, your experiences, or activities that you believe would reflect positively on your ability to succeed at Penn state. ++</p>
<p>Is it alright i gave a particular experience that had a profound impact on me which helps me to succeed at Penn state ? or do i have to share a couple of experiences! ??</p>
<p>as long as you showed with your essay why you would succeed at Penn State, it sounds like you answered the prompt. You just need to share something about you. </p>
<p>One experience is fine. In fact, I always tell people who are writing their essays to be as focused as possible. You don’t want it to sound like a laundry list, and “showing not telling” is a key component of a good essay</p>
