<p>hey i wanted to know which essay from the common app is the most popular?
here are the topics and you can post the topic u r writing/wrote about by its number.
**this is just out of curiousity, not like im trying to steal anyone's essay, so don't post any specific info about your essay.</p>

<p>(1) Evaluate a significant experience, achievement, risk you have taken, or ethical dilemma you have faced and its impact on you.</p>

<p>(2) A range of academic interests, personal perspectives, and life experiences adds much to the educational mix. Given your personal background, describe an experience that illustrates what you would bring to the diversity in a college community, or an encounter that demonstrated the importance of diversity to you. </p>

<p>(3) Describe a character in fiction, a historical figure, or a creative work (as in art, music, science, etc.) that has had an influence on you, and explain that influence. </p>

<p>(4) Discuss some issue of personal, local, national, or international concern and its importance to you. </p>

<p>(5)Indicate a person who has had a significant influence on you, and describe that influence. </p>

<p>(6) ANY TOPIC OF YOUR OWN</p>

<p>just post the six questions, and label them:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
And put a tally next to the one you're doing. So for my post and MPerfectionist, it'll probably be
1. 1
2. 0
3. 0
4. 0
5. 0
6. 1</p>

<h1>6. Nothing really unconventional but it sort of has a philosophical bent that doesn't fit into another category.</h1>
