<p>For the COMMON APP I planned to write my essay about:</p>

<p>Things that had happened to me throughout the life that have effects on my educational life…along with stuffs I do now in high school…(like passion etc.)</p>

<p>Which one mentioned below does this one falls into for the COMMON APP?</p>

<p>Option #1. Evaluate a significant experience, achievement, risk you have taken, or ethical dilemma you have faced and its impact on you.
Option #2. Discuss some issue of personal, local, national, or international concern and its importance to you.
Option #3. Indicate a person who has had a significant influence on you, and describe that influence.
Option #4. Describe a character in fiction, a historical figure, or a creative work (as in art, music, science, etc.) that has had an influence on you, and explain that influence.
Option #5. A range of academic interests, personal perspectives, and life experiences adds much to the educational mix. Given your personal background, describe an experience that illustrates what you would bring to the diversity in a college community, or an encounter that demonstrated the importance of diversity to you.</p>

<p>And if none of the above
Option #6. Topic of your choice</p>

<p>The reason of why I asked is because it’ll look bad if I choose #6 when it really falls into #1, 2, 3, 4, or 5… so please give me an answer and explanation if possible…
Thanks!!</p>

<p>My commonapp essay was about the time I was kidnapped by a corrupt lawyer who wanted me to crack a code. In the end, I managed to escape using my eidetic memory and code-transmitting skills, all thanks to you, my friend.</p>

<p>I kinda agree with you but wouldn’t that option be mostly about “diversity”?</p>

6

<p>It’s sounding a little more like Option 1 than Option 5 to me.</p>
