Is this essay idea fine?

Applying to College
1

I had an essay topic which asked me describe some difficult situation I may have been in.

Now, I don’t have any family issues or anything and couldn’t think of anything at all! Ofcourse, everyone has been in some situations like studying last minute and stuff, but I didn’t want to say that.

So, I wrote an essay how I think choosing a situation from my life was itself a difficult situation. I said how each challenge seems trivial after getting another and how I am lucky not to have never faced some major ones.

How is it? I know I can’t do anything about it now, but just thought I’ll get some opinions on how you guys may think.

I really think that won’t come off well. There may be some way to write it so you don’t sound privileged and flippant, but. Uh. The summary really does sound that way.

3

No. It will be difficult to pull it off without sounding snobby.

4

Focus on one event. I know how you’re feeling right now, that you could pull it off, but trust me, you’ll be wasting your time.

5

Everyone has been in a difficult situation. Deciding to avoid the question could be really detrimental. Was this essay for all colleges or only for a specific one? Try not to stress

Just realized you’ve probably already applied to colleges and used this essay! Uh…well there’s nothing you can do about it now but it probably wasn’t the best response to the type of essay they wanted to see.

Seems like I dug up my own grave :confused:

Anyways, it’s okay now. I have other options too :slight_smile:
