I’m an upcoming senior working on the college app essay. Should I avoid the “immigrant cliche” topic?

Hi Sarah!  Can you explain what you mean about “immigrant cliché”? Immigrants tend to have vastly different stories of their immigration, so yours could be bland or extraordinary. I need more info.  🙂
Yay, college!
