Daily News | Meet Whitney Soule, leader of the team who decides whether you get into Penn
Since Whitney Soule became vice provost and dean of admissions at the University of Pennsylvania a little over a year ago, she has begun to make changes in the application process at the Ivy League institution, one of the most competitive in the nation.
What does a student need to demonstrate to get into Penn today? How is that different from 10 years ago? We are committed to helping students who are inspired by learning to see college as an opportunity, and perhaps see that opportunity at Penn. Further, we need to prioritize a process that is equitable, that invites students from all backgrounds and levels of resource to fully represent themselves in our application. We can make some changes within Penn’s application, but the real effort is directed at changing the system.
Also, this year, we are part of a pilot project in the Common Application in which students have the option of using a checklist that indicates their commitment to responsibilities such as caring for family members, contributing to their household income, translating for family members. By inviting students to tell us about these responsibilities, we are signaling that we value the commitment of these responsibilities and include them in our review.
