    This has really been awesome, it's just come in handy. Thank you. If you get time can you tackle the question about how you'll contribute to the community that's Penn's second supplement

    Hey is it okay to talk about the student clubs that I would probably join at the university in a ‘why major’ essay? I think I’m considering the essay as more of a ‘why us’ essay

    • @TheAlmostAstrophysicist
      @TheAlmostAstrophysicist  2 роки тому +1

      If the clubs are related to your major, that makes sense. But honestly they want to know more about your passion, a why us essay is a completely different structure from a why this major essay. So I'd say you really need to dig deep and figure out what drew you to that major/what you did regarding that work in high school, etc.

    What if I don't have any specific major in my mind? And will applying without a fixed major degrade my chance?

    • @TheAlmostAstrophysicist
      @TheAlmostAstrophysicist  3 роки тому

      I don't think it'll degrade anything! I'd say about 50% of people apply with a major in mind and end up changing anyways. I think most universities would just expect you to explore your interests and possibilities at college if you don't have a very specific major in mind!
