DON’T RELY ON AI TO CHOOSE AN ESSAY TOPIC THAT STANDS OUT TO ADMISSIONS OFFICERS.

AI can help generate ideas, but it can’t replace self-awareness, nuance, or a truly personal story. And it can’t decide which story you should tell.

That's the decision that determines whether an essay moves an admissions officer—or gets filed under "solid but unremarkable." Topic selection is all about strategy. And it's the step most families get completely wrong, with or without AI.

In this free guide, I walk you through exactly how to find the essay topic that only YOU can write. The story that is a strategic complement to the rest of your application. The story that's genuinely unique versus all too common.

Inside, you'll learn:

• The 5 questions that separate a memorable essay topic from a forgettable one
• Why the "impressive" story is usually the wrong choice (and what to choose instead)
• What admissions officers are actually looking for—and what makes them stop and pay attention
• The topic traps that weaken otherwise strong applications
• How to narrow all of your ideas down to your perfect college essay topic

Many times the essay is the only chance you have to tell an admissions officer your story, so make sure it's the one you want to tell—and the one they want to hear!
