Struggling choosing what to write about and common app question

College Essays
1

<p>I have 2 or 3 good ideas, but I feel one might be more unique, but not as well-written, etc.</p>

<p>I was wondering also if you Common APP essay could read like a story almost and second if it should be about a similar topic to your common app short answer</p>

<p>I think I am either going to write about - My trip to Egypt and meeting family for my first time (study Arabic, experience culture etc.) or write about how my dad influenced me</p>

<p>I feel the one about Egypt is more unique but the one essay about my dad could be written better.</p>

<p>I hope that makes sense. Thanks for the help</p>

<p>A lot of people write about vacations, so i’d say that the one about your dad has the potential to be more unique.</p>
