One of my UC piqs is based on me confronting someone (peacefully and verbally dw lol) who stole money from my company (it was like a loan given to them to have them run an errand/buy something for us, and they just ran off with the money) and my college counselor wants me to switch my topic into some other company dispute (like project conflicts or communication issues, etc. which I think is boring…) because she thinks the a topic around a “legal dispute” isn’t a good topic for a college essay.
I personally disagree as I feel this is a much more interesting event than like other common issues that many others may write about. I just kinda need some second opinions before I decide to keep or scrap this theme entirely. Thanks guys 🙏

basically i have a nickname then i made a groupchat of people with my same name to see if we share the nickname and from that i realized that while im not loud, my curiosity takes initiative and also realized that leaderhip is also the one with the patience to listen

so yes

Hello!! I just finished my intro paragraph for my college essay and I was wondering if anyone can review it and let me know if it to generic and I should change it and any ideas on improving it. Please be brutally honest! Thank you!

Hi! I’m finishing up my Common App essay and would really appreciate an outside perspective. I’ve been revising it for a while and I think I’m close, but I’d love feedback on clarity, flow, and overall impact.

If anyone has time to read it and share honest thoughts, I’d be super grateful. I can paste the essay in the comments or DM it depending on what’s easier.

Thank you so much.
