<p>i dont really get the college essays. so do i send the same essays on the common app to all the schools i apply to? and then each school each has its own special essay?</p>
<p>Some colleges just require essays on the common app and some have their own essays. If it’s just for the common app, then submit your essay as part of the common app. Send the essays that are just for a specific college to that college directly, not as part of the common app.</p>
<p>so if two or more colleges require essays from the common app, i can just send copies of my common app essay to all of them?</p>
<p>What do you mean by “them”? If the essays are part of the common app, then put the essays in your common application and send the common app to the colleges. You do not send the essays that are part of the common app separately from the common app. The common app essays are part of the common app.</p>
