Question about topic of your choice

College Essays
1

<p>I had to write an essay for one college (non-Common app) about one of my passions.
As a whole, the essay detailed several key events in my life (relating to said passion) that stirred personal growth.</p>

<p>I really like my essay, and want to use it on the common app. Should I try to squeeze it in their with topic 1, write it as topic of ur choice, or just ignore it and right a whole new one?
Will i be seen as lazy for not sticking to a designated topic?</p>

<p>You will not (imo) be seen as lazy for using topic of choice.</p>

<p>Use whatever essay is, in your judgment, the most personal, detailed, honest and revealing.</p>

<p>do we have to write what our topic is if we do topic of your choice? or can we just leave it up to the ad comm to discover it</p>

<p>Imo it is a useful discipline to specify a topic in writing. You then have a target to aim for and a standard by which to judge your early drafts.</p>
