Turning UCs into Common App Essay?

<p>Hey everyone, I kind of have a dilemma here...</p>

<p>I have both of my UC essays finished and wanted to turn one of them into my Common App essay. But the problem is, I can't decide which one to use!</p>

<p>My UC1 is about well...me. It's focused on my love for learning/knowledge in general, and the fact that it's really important to me to be able to learn from all different fields and disciplines, not just about things that are major-specific. I like my UC2 a lot better, but it's about a service trip I went on last winter, and I'm worried that it might be too cliched of a topic...</p>

<p>Any opinions on which I'd be better off with?</p>

<p>if you think the essay is a lot better, then turn that one in. Don’t worry about cliche topics. If the essay is personal and reveals yourself with a strong voice, then turn it in</p>
