<p>I’m trying to decide what the focus of my admission essays should be. I moved the middle of my junior year, but managed to be elected senior class president and start a new club, should I talk about that transition or is that too overdone/cheesy?</p>
<p>eh sounds kinda banal, but hey you sound like the one person that could make it interesting!</p>
<p>There are no cliche/banal/overdone topics. There are only cliche/banal/overdone treatments of topics.</p>
<p>ADad is very correct. The way you treat the topic matters the most. The topic may be cliche, but the content of the essay may be original. I’ve read some very original essays on why “Mom is my greatest heroine, poverty is a bad thing…etc”. How you treat the topic is what matters</p>
