Is my topics okay? (Common App)

<p>Writing about immigration. But there seems to be a problem. I moved to the U.S when I was 11 years old. Will colleges buy my essay even though the event happened 6 years ago? They won't think its full of BS will they?</p>

<p>No. But, there will be plenty of others writing about immigration/identity sorts of things. Make sure your essay is unique. Not cliched.</p>
