<p>its to my benefit if you all submit ridicously long essays to Penn and dont get in because of it, but serious, cut it down. Only about 50%-75% of how a reader interprets “good” is its content. The rest is organization, some grammar, and the ability to get to a point. ESPECIALLY for Wharton applicants I’ve heard, because in business, you have 30 seconds tops in an elevator to pitch your business idea…so you have to know how to be concise, to the point, and get your ideas through.</p>
