<p>Hello,
I am applying to Boston University.But for the additional information question, do you think it would look bad if I submit an essay I had to write for another college? I was wondering if I could submit an essay I wrote for UC application.Would it hurt of be helpful by showing my personality from another perspective?
Thank you.</p>
<p>I emailed my admissions rep for BU to ask how to add an art supplement and she said I could use the additional information to write about a paragraph explaining why I like art/do art/etc… but I don’t know if they want a whole extra essay. Are you talking about the UC essay where you elaborate on an extracurricular? If so then I don’t think you should add that to your BU app…they get 70,000 applications and really don’t have time to look through extra info. But email your admissions rep. if you feel really inclined to. But definitely don’t phrase in your email that this is an essay you wrote for another college. Good luck!</p>
Would you ask someone out on a date calling them by someone elese’s because that got you a date with that other person?
