<p>How do essay topics from different college applications differ? If the topics are all the same, then what makes the essays vary? There have been other threads about this, but humor me. What is the most unique topic you have ever read? What college was it from. Also, how do ivy leagues make sure that the essays given to them aren't just general.</p>
<p>I guess it depends on how creative you can get :)

<p>There are no good or bad topics for college essays, only good or bad essays.</p>
<p>There is a great deal to be said about almost anything. Everything can be as interesting as every other thing. In your essay, you don't have to say something startling and new, or strain to be 'different'
