Can you reuse your personal statement from a year ago?

<p>I applied to the UCs last year and got into every UC but UCB and UCLA...after a long complicated spring i ended up back at my CC again...i was wondering if its possible to reuse my personal statement from last year and just modify it, and make it slightly up to date. I mean not much has changed..and i really liked what i said... Would this work since you cant plagiarize yourself ?</p>

<p>i dont know but would like to know as well</p>

<p>It’s your original work, I don’t see why not. However, I don’t know for sure.
I doubt they have your essay in the databases from the last time you turned it in.</p>

<p>yea im wondering that as well…not many people are in the same situation as me compared to all the first time applicants…im thinking itll be fine…can anyone else confirm…or give me your thoughts…thanks!</p>

<p>Why don’t you call the admissions offices of the schools? I doubt they’ll ask you for your name (since the answer the from the admissions office wouldn’t change on a per-person basis).</p>

<p>go lakers!</p>
