<p>The GT essay asks to write a great achievement that has affected your life. What essay topics did yall write about? I’m writing about the time I lost 40 pounds.</p>
<p>the escaping from communism</p>
<p>Climbing Everest</p>
<p>Taking over Mexico in 2 days</p>
<p>getting 5 a’s and 2 b’s on a 9 weeks report card when i was absent with mono for 5 weeks.</p>
<p>climbing mount everest when i was absent with mono for 5 weeks.</p>
<p>I think the main reasons this thread is not getting a lot of honest responses is because you want to keep your application essay personal and unique. Someone could come here and go “That’s a good idea! I think I’ll write my essay on that too!”</p>
