You can either write an essay on a topic of choice or chose from one of the following:

*Evaluate a significant experience, achievement, risk you have taken, or ethical dilemma you have faced and its impact on you.

*Discuss some issue of personal, local, national, or international concern and its importance to you.

*Indicate a person who has had a significant influence on you, and describe that influence.

*Describe a character in fiction, a historical figure, or a creative work (as in art, music, science, etc.) that has had an influence on you, and explain that influence.

*A range of academic interests, personal perspectives, and life experiences adds much to the educational mix. Given your personal background, describe an experience that illustrates what you would bring to the diversity in a college community, or an encounter that demonstrated the importance of diversity to you.

The same essay topics are used on most of the college applications, so you don't have to go a quest seeking them out for each school.

The majority of schools require you to use the Common App, and once you've set up your account you can view the application requirements and get general info on each one you're interested in.

Have you checked on the commonapp website?  I think I saw them on the list.  If you haven't, and you want to check, you have to make your own account.
