<p>Do colleges keep a file of all previously accepted students' essays?</p>
<p>only last few yrs .......</p>
<p>But nobody goes in to check.......</p>
<p>If ur thinkin of copying a previous submitted essay dont do it</p>
<p>read the thread on PLAGIARIZING ESSAYS</p>
<p>yup smartmind is right. the colleges know everything. The essay can also be used to keep you out of college rather than accept you.</p>
