What did your DC wrote about in the Common App essay?

[Anonymous]

Mine wrote about how they started their passion which is their extracurricular at school as well as their intended major but also talked about how that helped to shape them as a young adult.

One of mine wrote about a traumatic experience he had while working at a gas station when someone overdosed in the bathroom. The other wrote about cooking and eating cicadas. Both were accepted to top schools.

Last year, my kid's essay highlighted their character and personality through 3 examples/stories. It was authentic, reflective, in my kid's voice, and included some stories that 'experts' advise to avoid since they may be generic. I thought the essay was well done but not extraordinary - but clearly effective since kid was accepted ED to an ivy. I think the strength was that the essay displayed my kid's self awareness, humility and confidence.

Wasn't there an essay by a kid who hated the letter S because one of her parents passed?

My kid wrote about how much she loves reading, which was very authentic to her. In at her ED1 school and now a happy English major there.
