<p>Hey guys… Well I plan to apply to some very competitive schools and have been talking to my counselor about my essays. Unfortunately, I don’t agree with her thinking.</p>
<p>She wants me to write an essay about how my parents were immigrants and how they overcame hardships in America and how I also overcame hardships. While I feel like that could be moving, it seems very overused and too common… I, on the other hand, would rather do something witty and creative, like taking a mundane object and comparing it to my view on life. Which would AdComs prefer?</p>
