Brown Supplements

Is it alright to reference something I wrote in one supplement in another? They’re so short that I can’t explain the experience in both, but I’d like to use something I elaborated on in one supplement as an example in another. Are they expected to be independent pieces (in case multiple AOs are reading parts of the app or something?)?

Specifically, I described this organization I did an internship for my “areas of study” supplement, and would like to make a passing reference to that organization in my “Why Brown” essay.

Admissions officers and readers read all your supplements/essays, so it should be fine – although you could add a parenthetical phrase (i.e., my work with the writing club, which publishes poetry, got me interested in English Literature). Just don’t use abbreviations.
