Common App Essay

What’s the best thing to write about on the essay to make it unique?

You are the best person to answer that question. Or your family or close friends who know interesting stories about you.

Right… if we were to give you an essay, it would be OUR essay. You want an essay that’s about YOU.

Think of all those family jokes-- the things you laugh about at the dinner table, the things your brother teases you about. Those are the basis for an essay that’s uniquely yours.
