Your Common App essay has to apply to all the schools you apply to. So this makes no sense in that context. If it is the “Why College X” supplemental essay, you could use some of this.

For Common App essay tips, look at the thread pinned to the top of this forum.

Even for a Why X essay, don’t creep them out. Write about the programs and ECs that appeal to you. And what you have to offer the college. You risk coming across as, believe it or not, having a shallow reason for attending. You have a bias since you were little, and might not be looking at it very rationally.
