Bad Idea for the Common App Extracurricular Essay?

<p>Hey everyone! So I was thinking of topics to do for my activity essay and I was gonna do rowing, but then I realized most of my college supps talk about rowing in some aspect so I thought it would be better if I did something else.
The thing I came up with was baking... haha
Is this a bad thing to do?</p>

<p>I heard that it was good to do things that you weren't the best at or things that were the most academic.</p>

<p>I was gonna talk about my love for baking and creating something even though im not very good at it but how I used those baking skills to create 400 cookies and cupcakes with my teammates for a Bake Sale and things like that. </p>

<p>So whatta think? :P</p>

<p>Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>Honestly if you can write well about it then do it. I know people who got in with weird essays. My friend for in Yale with an essay about Mac and cheese and my other friend in Harvard with an essay about a ball which bounces really high</p>

<p>Wow well hopefully I turn out like them!
Thanks for the response :)</p>
