<p>For the supplements since some questions are strikingly similar for each school does it matter if i use the same type or exact answer for two or more colleges? on the common app. </p>
<p>I guess my question is do colleges see eachothers supplements turned in by me?</p>
<p>thanks</p>
<p>No, colleges see only their own supplement.</p>
<p>Yes, you can use the same answer for more than one college.</p>
<p>It's definitely fine to use the same answer for more than one school or tweak your answers slightly (ie changing some of the details in your "Why XXX college?" essay to create a "Why Y University?" essay)</p>
<p>When I applied, I remember one schools supplement even said something on the lines of "We know you're applying to other colleges, so you can answer one of our essay questions or send us an essay that you wrote for another college"</p>
