Can I reuse my essays for UCI?

Hi,

I TAG to a UCI for Computer Science last year and I got in with TAG but didn’t meet the 3.4 requirement (got a 3.36). I am applying again this fall though regular admissions and was wondering if I could reuse my essay from last year. I heard rumors that when you TAG they don’t even read your essays because you have a guaranteed chance of acceptance.

Thanks in advance for the responses

Yes you can.

great thanks !
