<p>Hey, I'm applying to CAS and CALS, I wonder if I can submit two similar essays since the two colleges have rather similar questions? Will this be looked negatively upon me? I don't know if this is a dumb question but does each college within Cornell have its own admission committee?</p>

<p>Bump…anyone?</p>
<p>I emailed the admissions office asking the exact same question, and this is what they told me:</p>
<p>If you are applying to similar programs in the two colleges, then they will understand if you repeat certain elements of your college essay. It appears that you understand already that it will help to tailor some of your essay to reflect whatever differences there may be in the two programs, so you should be fine. Submitting the exact same essay is not recommended.</p>
<p>Hope this helps!</p>
<p>^Thanx alot :)</p>
