<p>I was wondering if the "Topic of your choice" option for the essays on the Common app is a good idea.
My initial thought for an essay does not fit into any of the categories. I want to write about my community and the city I grew up in and how it shaped me. Any advice?</p>
<p>That sounds fine.</p>
<p>That’s totally cool. Infact I think its the best choice.</p>
<p>I think that sounds great. It seems like you have a vision for the topic that includes really showing admissions who you are. Take it and run.</p>
