[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you see the misunderstanding most posters are having regarding [b]college app essay topics[/b] ? If you do, then you know how ridiculous the PSA thread title is and how ridiculous the private school counselor's advice was regarding college application essay topics.[/quote] I wrote the above and I am trying to help. [b]Every single college application essay has the same topic.[/b] If you understand this, then you will understand how much misinformation is spread about college app essays even by private high school college counselors.[/quote] Perhaps folks are confusing the common personal statement (OP is this what you are talking about?) vs. supplemental essays. Supplementals usually ask a relatively specific question while the Common App personal statement can answer one of the 6 or 7 questions...or you can write about anything at all.[/quote]
