<p>What are some lame, overused supplement essay topics to avoid? I know adcoms have seen their share of big games and dead pets on CommonApp essays, but what are the main faux pas on supplements?</p>
<p>How someone’s one week trip to Africa changed their entire life.</p>
<p>Just do you and write about what you’re MOST passionate about cause that’ll be the best essay no matter if its hackneyed or not.</p>
<p>@Hopeless, that’s a good one too, though it’s more overused on the CA essay…how about “how math gives me intellectual vitality”?</p>
