I’m an international student who has lived in America for like, half of my life and Korea for half of my life. I want to write my essay related to this(Idk exactly, maybe something about the different cultures or how I adjusted to the different environments) but would it be like an overused topic or something? Please help me 
I don’t have a guidance counselor so I don’t know anything about college essays.
First of all, please do some googling and you will find a lot of info about college essays. There is also a sub forum here about them.
I think it is fine, but it won’t be new to adcoms. They will have seen plenty before, so be sure you frame it as a means of showing how your culture shaped you as a person. What should they know about who you are? Focus on your, not your family. What they want at the end of the day is to put a person to a bunch of meaningless stats, so be sure that after they read it they can think “okay, I know something about this student and I like her.”
The issue is not the topic; it is the way that you discuss and treat the topic in your statement. I have seen students write fresh, interesting essays on topics that seem overdone or mundane. The essay is a window into who you are as a person, and a good writer can do that with nearly any topic.
Like Lindgaf alluded to, a very common trap for immigrant students is to write an essay about their immigrant that 1) focuses on their parents and family more than it focuses on them, or 2) is more like a chronological account of their move to the U.S. than a statement that shows off or tells something about them.
Any topic is fine as long as tells something about you that can’t be found elsewhere on the application.
You can start by brainstorming. After you’ll find a good idea you can use mind mapping technique. I’ve personally ask specialists to help me. My friend told me to check the reviews, supreme essay has pretty good ones. You can at least check it. Good luck with your essay!
Uh, that’s just flat out wrong. There are plenty of topics that obviously should be avoided such as cheating, criminal activity, etc. Also, once you have a topic that’s fine, there are wide variations in the effectiveness of the essay even when the essay tells something about you that isn’t shown elsewhere.
Seems like the post above (#7) is spam. Regardless, I checked out the link and the advice to go there should be ignored. The site offers to write your essay yet it is riddled with grammatical errors. Its so bad it also seems like a spoof. Of course, even if the site’s employees were grammatical experts and/or writing experts it would be a terrible idea to have anyone write your personal statement for you. Not a strategy that will help in the admissions process even if you ignore the ethical considerations.
Write about anything as long as it’s unique and no one else but you could’ve written it. What matters is what you tell the admissions officers about yourself, not how you do.
