<p>I'm trying to get into a highly selective college and my essay is going to be on how I was placed into lower level classes Freshman year and how it motivated me to do better. On another thread I was told this is a cliche essay topic. Should I change it? </p>
<p>yes, no offense, its stupid, you should not have to write an essay about it, if you want to go to top schools it’s something you should do regardless.</p>
<p>oops, meant to say no</p>
