Commonapp Essays/topics

<p>Alright for the extracurricular essay i wrote it on cross country and track. I realize that it may just look like the thousands of sport essays that are done for this but i can't bring myself not to write about what i am most proud of/passionate about. not to mention it is what i spend an overwhelming amount of time on. So should I stick with this or write about more academic things like student government/community service.</p>

<p>And for the topic of my choice I was did a draft about my transition to the US from China (I immigrated here).It's about learning english and becoming Americanized, what it felt like to get citizenship last year. is this a good topic or is this too generic as well. </p>

<p>i have drafts in case someone wants to look it over.</p>

<p>The topic really doesn’t matter as much as the writing style. Make sure that you are very creative, and that you sound very intelligent but not unrealistically sophisticated. PM your short answer to me if you want my opinion, realizing that I have absolutely no credentials. Good luck!</p>
