Common App Essay Ideas

Hi guys,
I was wondering what kind of topics people were gonna choose to write for their college essay. I have one idea in mind where I was going to write about how I am short. I think it answers the 5th prompt? I was hoping it would be original. Any feedback on my idea or is it not good enough?

I think that’s a really good idea ! I’ve actually read an essay about that topic before
Just make sure to approach it from a unique perspective and avoid cliches

You’d better have some interesting, memorable stories–the key to a successful PS is *stories/i.

The idea seems alright as long as you don’t sound too whiny. Include interesting anecdotes of how being short has played a crucial part in various stages of your life.
