Ideas for College Essay

I am conflicted as to what to write for my college essay. For now, I am debating between the two topics: 1) how being one of the twins affected my personality as an individual and 2) a personal family problem that made me stronger in life.

What would be a better choice? Any suggestions?

Thank you.

@den057 either one sounds interesting if developed well. I would lean with number 1

Why not come up with a very rough draft of both, and see which one looks better to you?

I’d go with whichever one will seem more positive. Honestly, when I first read your topics my reaction was “meh”. Twins aren’t so uncommon any longer and I get turned off by problems. JMHO
