I am writing an essay about disappointment for the common application. Think about emotions, how they affect us, what causes them, and all that. Pick a specific emotion and run with it. I think that colleges will gobble that up, but I don’t know, because I’m probably in the same position you are. I read somewhere that this essay should be personal, and be written in your own voice and tone. I know that so far my essay on disappointment isn’t a personal, first-person essay, but I guess if the experts say it should be, then I need to work on it (I read it in "Acing the College Application" by Michele A. Hernandez", a former admissions officer from Dartmouth U). I may be right about this being an original idea, or I may be wrong, but I hope this helps and maybe even leads to other creative ideas you may come up with. Good Luck!

I think putting a lot of thought into your essay subject is great.
Try—-
-How you could contribute to the college.
-An important time in your life.
-Who was a big influence in you life.
-What attracts you to their college.
-The difference you hope to make in the world.
Don’t go too controversial, it is too dangerous and may be seen as just a way to get attention.
