The big idea
Admissions readers see the same 5 essay topics over and over. AI can help you mine your life for a topic no one else has — that still answers the prompt.
How to use it
- Tell AI 10 random things about you and ask: 'Which is essay-worthy?'
- Ask AI to suggest angles other than the obvious
- Ask AI to flag overdone topics (sports injury, mission trip, etc)
- Ask AI to draft 3 opening lines for the best topic
Try it
List 10 weird things about you. Ask AI which would make the most surprising college essay topic.
