Hi everyone, I’m a junior right now, but I would like to start thinking about my common app essay. What are your opinions of these topic ideas?
-How I was terrified to take a very emotionally jolting and unique experimental drawing class, where I ended up learning a lot about myself (this would be an anecdote)
-How volunteering at a theraputic riding stable (5 years) and gaining leadership roles within the program has helped with my confidence and has been tremendously rewarding
-How being an identical triplet has impacted me
I think all three could work - but I want to mention some that with the second topic, a lot of people will write about leadership and something they gained from an activity.
But ultimately, it depends on HOW you write it - so you could do any of the three, but keep it unique (w/out going overboard). Good luck!
