Should I write a coming out story as an essay?

Writing about coming out is a fine topic for a prep school admissions essay. Depending on your home country or state, I doubt it is that frequent of a topic given parents are often reading those essays and many are still coming to terms with the idea of their 13yo’s sexual orientation. However, please make sure to pay careful attention to what each prompt is actually asking. Be thoughtful in making sure that you are really addressing the question. Don’t force-fit one essay into multiple prompts to avoid rewriting.
