"MY OWN PATH, Chinese mothers" - CommonApp Essay [6]
It's too common I feel, to mention Asian stereotypes in a Common Application essay. I also feel that it's not a good idea for an Asian applicant to mention medical school aspirations.

"Growing up with Chinese parents, now college" -My Common App Essay [10]
I would recommend not focusing on your ethnic heritage as this essay topic is quite common and really says nothing about your individuality and strengths as a person. Try another topic, please!

"In Being a Banana: A Cultural Mishap" - General questions on format & prompt ComApp [9]
While well-written, this essay topic is too common among Asian applicants, and thus is not likely to differentiate yourself from the many applicants with your background. My suggestion is to pick a topic that is unique to you, and demonstrates what you would bring to a college campus in terms of your abilities and strengths.
