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 🙏

College admissions are due in the next month and following, and I have yet to solidify a good topic for me to write about. I don't have a traumatic event or life-changing moment, so I am struggling to find something to write about. I have many interests and things I do however, including fishing, hiking, and other things. Some topics that I have considered was fishing and pipelining that from how I taught my friends to fish and into my leadership positions at school, or minecraft and how I spent so much time on it growing up and I rarely go on it anymore (but I believe that is too cliche and common), and then writing about a time my whole family and friends thought I went missing hiking but it was really the greatest experience of my life.

I just feel like the ideas aren't suitable for a good story and won't be compelling for admission officers to read. If anyone has any opinion on the things I said or maybe some other ideas to write about I am taking ANY feedback! I love the outdoors, and I also love biology. I plan on majoring in Biology or Marine Biology to pursue Medical School.

So I’ve asked claude to revise some parts of an esssy that I fully drafted myself is that ok if they just reword certain parts better? I’m utilizing as a tool not asking it to write the whole essay for me. Lmk if anyone else is using it the same way.
