Can I use the same UT Austin application short answer for my Honors Program application?

One of the short answers I wrote for my UT Austin application is pretty close to the prompt of Turing Scholars, which I also intend on applying to.

I plan on tweaking it a bit, but is it okay if I sort of reuse the same essay for the Turing Scholars app? Or are they read by the same people?

I wouldn’t. They read both of them,so you would be adding no new information, and the admissions people would probably find it odd that you used the same answer in the same application.
