Another optional essay question

<p>Okay so i know this question has probably already been answered but i dont feel like reading through all the past posts so please help me?
the optional essay: do you have to write on one of the possible topics they give you (like travel, books etc) or can you just submit an essay on any old thing you feel like. 'cause that'd be nice.<br>
thanks</p>

<p>Somebody asked the exact same question before..
But no, it doesn't have to be on any of those topics. Mine was kind of random, about what I want to study and why. I got in.</p>

<p>I have a similar question about the optional essay. I don't want to write one so I can concentrate more on my required essays so can I submit one of my required essays as the optional essay? I would of course change it around a little but it will be the same topic and almost the same essay.</p>
