Question about essay's + Ideas

<p>Is a UC personal statement different from the Common app's question?
or could you generally use the same type of style and voice and theme?</p>

<p>Also, I have a few ideas
but the main one running through my head is
-How I break the traditional korean stereotype and my relationship with my parents which is different than other korean students' relationships with their parents</p>

<p>I thought about it, but I'm wondering if it's too cliche
I want a more genuine, out of the ordinary type essay, since that's kind of the person I am, but that too I think is going to be a risk</p>

<p>Any help would be appreciated!</p>
