All top schools like Harvard, Stanford, Yale and UPenn recommend the applicants to write a college essay which stands out. The best way to do that is to find a topic which is unusual because the common topics usually backfire. Think of topics which are different but somehow or the other link to your hobbies, passions or whatever you want to mention in your college essay. Just try that you mention a problem in your essay and how you came up with a solution.
