<p>I'm working on the common application and have come to the essay portion. I'm wondering if they see some of the topic options as harder than others?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Personally, I think it’s easiest to write an essay that represents you and then, if it doesn’t naturally fall into one of the first 5 categories, just make it 6. </p>
<p>You don’t get “bonus points” for using a topic that you had difficulty writing about.</p>
