Replacing Optional Essay?

<p>How would Penn view it if instead of writing a page 217 essay I wrote an essay describing why I want to go to Wharton and my business experience? Should I try and explain it in the required essay?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>I wouldn’t do that. I’d try a futuristic narrative on how a Wharton education facilitated your career accomplishments instead. That way 300 pages = your lifetime so page 217 is sometime well down the line. Just an idea.</p>

<p>Thanks.
Anyone else?</p>

<p>lol, i don’t think they want you to make up your own prompt or they wouldn’t assign a prompt for the essay in the first place.</p>

<p>do what necro said. there’s definitely a way to incorporate your desire to go to wharton into the page 217 essay.</p>

<p>sounds more appropriate as a portion of the required essay</p>

<p>OK thanks guys haha. I will just work Wharton into the p.217.</p>

<p>Any suggestions on how to do it?</p>
