Applying to College
1

Hi,
I hope you can help me. I’m finding it to be rather difficult to write an essay for college because there are so many topics I can choose from…which ones do you think would be more effective?

Moving from Turkey-NY-Turkey-NY again

My grandmother who passed away because of a physical illness

Trip to a village in Turkey that we organized to help a school and its
underprivileged students

Trip to Tajikistan to help ppl there

My school project (how bars in a particular part of Ankara, Turkey,
determined their prices and how it effected my view on life and economics)

Being the son of a diplomat

Various Model UN experiences

The first time I lived alone (only for 2 weeks though)

A depressive friend that I helped out

Thanks a lot guys:)

<p>You should read Harry Bauld's book on writing college essays. Some of those topics are so cliche that it would usually hurt to write about them.</p>

<p>yes they are very cliche. i would agree. stop trying to show accomplishments, and try to show who you are.</p>
