<p>If some of the colleges you are applying to suggest the same essay topic can you send them the same essay?
Just wondering...</p>
<p>You sure can.</p>
<p>^you kidding? I’m pretty sure the answer is no. </p>
<p>Think about it. Each college is going to take the time to find other schools with similar or the same prompts. Then, they will somehow find out all of these schools each of their applicants are applying to and magically steal these essays from the other schools’ admissions offices. Then a group of admissions people, devoted just to read all the essays from said schools with similar prompts, will look for ones that are the same. Once they realize that an applicant has used the same essays, they will put a small note on the application reading: “Applicant is smart enough to not waste time writing different essays for the same prompt”</p>
