<p>So the prompts on the Common App website are pretty unappealing to me, and I am currently writing a personal statement for a different college which does not allow the Common App. Basically, my personal statement is about the journey I undertook to realize that I do want to enter the field of medicine. If I tweak the personal statement around a bit just to make it more so like a prompt essay, would that work as a suitable alternative to the Common App essays? Thanks a bunch for your help!</p>
<p>Yep. Its choose your own essay. No matter what topic you choose, you’ll be fine. I’m not even sure if they’ll tell you to tweak it.</p>
<p>Just choose the “Other topic” choice and submit :s</p>
