Why not brainstorm a few ideas on each Common App prompt, and see what you come up with.

While you’re a statistical minority, I’m not sure that there aren’t lots and lots of other applicants who share a very common background-- and I am positive that there are a bazillion writing about pretty much the same topic.

That’s not to say that your essay can’t be great, merely that it will be hard to make it memorable.
