Last year I submitted an essay to turnitin for my english class. Am I allowed to use that essay for college essays?
There have been threads on this before. I think the consensus was not to do it. It’s not plagiarism, since it’s your work, but it can trigger a plagiarism warning, and you do not want that. If my memory is incorrect, someone please correct me.
Thanks for the reply. I’ve really only reused one part of the essay that I submitted to turnitin. It’s rather descriptive, recounting an experience I had, and applies to a lot of supplemental engineering essays. Obviously I’ve reworked it for each supplemental prompt but there’s definitely a solid chunk that I’ve copied over. Do you think this is okay?
Half of me wants to say it’s okay and half of me is unsure. Can you rephrase the portion? If you PM the essays to me, I’ll give you a better opinion.
I’ve already submitted it to two schools…if possible I’d like to get some more opinions before sending a pm to you
Fine by me. I have no horse in this race. 
Can you turn in the current essay to turnitin and see what the % is?
