<p>I wrote my common app essay about how I got my driver's license. (It took me three times to finally pass the road test) While I have other things to write about, I was able to show the most personality with this one. But my question is, will adcoms look at me like my greatest accomplishment is getting my driver's license? I feel it is a very well written essay. But will adcoms not be able to get over the fact that I'm writing about something that most people find to be pretty ordinary?</p>
<p>I think it's personal and shows a unique side of you your app would never otherwise show. </p>
<p>My essays all dealt with academic interests, but this sounds interesting. If you finish, I wouldn't mind reading it for you and shooting you back what I think.</p>
<p>If you write an interesting, witty, personal essay, your driver's license could be an excellent topic. Go for it!</p>
