<p>If you choose an alternate school like the college of arts and science to the engineering school.... can you like refer to your previous statement... because my academic interest in both are essentially the same. </p>
<p>My first essay is about 400 words... Can I make my alternate school essay really short and just basically answer the question?</p>
<p>do a full essay for both, as the admins will evaluate them each as seperate applications to each school.</p>
<p>So it is ok to repeat?</p>
<p>I would try to make them somewhat different. Approach them each seperately, and for each one explain what you would get out of going to that particular school. Obviously, since they are both schools at Vandy they are going to have similarities and some overlap. However, there must be some aspect that each school offers that the other does not.</p>
