Approach 1
Undecided
why penn
step out of comfort zone
with every individual around me having the same goal, I can achieve all that without being paralyzed by the stultifying fear of failure
reference curriculum - diversity, intensity(rigorous), flexibility
my current status
College is about growing up, being accountable for my own actions.
Penn's curriculum forces me to explore different disciplines - which complicates my academic decisions.
I do not yet know what I’m going to major in, and the choices can be overwhelming. But part of growing up is struggling with choices, asking for help if I need it, and making my own decisions.
wide variety of interests - undecided
what I expect my college experience to provide me
Explore topics that actually interest me,
expose myself to new disciplines,
challenge myself silly,
and discover potentially life-changing passions
