hi so comon app came put yesterday and I was thinking of a few ideas on what to write. As one of the essay topics is about an event that has transitioned you from childhood to adulthood, I was wondering if very personal things work? I’m a survivor of a very significant event and was wondering if that whole experience and its impact on my life/adulthood would work? thanks for any suggestions!
It depends on what the event is. I do think that personal experiences work, especially if they are unlike the cliche topic ideas. I’m not exactly sure what your significant event is, but of course you can use it! Your idea sounds like it has had a big impact on your life, and college admissions will like how you are able to showcase your true self in the essay. Whatever you’re writing about, it sounds unique (which will definitely help you stand out- in a good way- from other applicants). I say use it!
They say don’t ever write about:
- death
- drugs
- divorce
Thank you so much!
Thank you very much for the help!
