Office of Admissions reinforced its effort in Penn’s commitment to creating a diverse community.PEEP – Penn Early Exploration Program – launched its first application earlier this month with the goal of having talented high school seniors from historically underrepresented population learn about Penn and its application process.This equity and access initiative definition “historically underrepresented” population includes first-generation Asian Americans and LGBTQ in addition to its usual minority groups.“This year we reached out directly to prospective students in our database and community-based organizations like Questbridge, KIPP and National Hispanic Institute to promote the program to their students,” Vice Dean of Office of Admissions Yvonne Romero Da Silva said in an email statement.There were previous programs similar to PEEP, but the new program approaches the students more directly than counselor nomination based program before.
