Meet Penn Admissions

Welcome to Penn Admissions—we’re so excited to meet you! Penn is a place known for first, for greats, for Ivy League tradition and Philly spirit. We refuse to be defined by just one thing (You know the feeling)! 

As Admissions Officers, we have the privilege of reading your applications (and we read all of them) to learn more about who you are. Through our comprehensive review process, we delve into each part of your application from your transcript and extracurricular activities to your letters of recommendation to gain valuable insight into the qualities that make you uniquely you. But comprehensive review doesn't mean we only look at your successes. We know that every great idea and winning moment is the product of developing the resiliency to try and try again. It’s about finding a way or making a way. 

We know how exciting and nerve-wracking it can be to apply to college, but don’t worry, we’re here to help every step of the way! Feel free to reach out to us via email at info@admissions.upenn.edu or the Ask feature on our website. You can also connect with us on social media or visit us at the Admissions Visitor Center to ask your questions in person. We might even be coming to a city near you while we’re on the road! Know that we’re here to support you as you prepare your very best application.
