Penn President Amy Gutmann has stated that “understanding and appreciating diversity is one of Penn's most important priorities and is fundamental to success in today's world.” Penn advertises itself as diverse.

As a first-generation, low-income student, I hope to offer my perspective on legacy admissions.

At 6:45 in the morning, while rushing to get back to Penn’s campus in time to shower, change, read the required Spenserian stanzas before my British poetry class, and get to work by 9 a.m., the last thing I expected to feel was at ease. Hopping into an Uber, the driver immediately greeted me with a smile and a question, “How’re you feeling?” This unexpectedly intimate opening to conversation was exactly what I needed in the moment — the reassurance that I was being seen.
