<p>I was thinking about writing my essay on how unique I am, with focus on my appearance and ideas. I know colleges usually look for applicants with "unique characteristics" but is it going a little too much if I write an essay showing how unique I am?</p>
<p>Thanks for your help!</p>
<p>Maybe not. I wrote an essay about one characteristic that makes me unique and how it contributes to the world and diversity. If you’re really concerned, you can just focus on a few small things that make you unique and what effect they will have on your community (or something like that). Something that ties your unique-ness into a broader message.</p>
