<p>On the Michigan application (they don't use common app), there is one short answer prompt that asks "if you could only continue doing one of your previously-listed activities, what would you chose?"<br>
On the next page there is a different short answer prompt that asks "At the University of Michigan, we are committed to building a superb educational community with students of diverse talents, experiences, opinions and cultural backgrounds. What would you as an individual bring to our campus community?"</p>
<p>I was wondering if it was a bad idea to talk about the same subject in both. I had written a pretty good response that dealt with my passion for music, would it be a bad/good idea to do the second one about music too?</p>
