Common App and Cornell University Writing supplements

<p>Cornell requires it's own writing supplement for the college you want to apply to, and common app requires you to write the "person essay" to complete the application.
Does cornell also read the common app personal essay?
I want to use the same essay for my cornell writing supplement as my personal essay for the rest of my colleges, but you can't change it based on college/university. Will cornell read both or just the one they ask for? I dont want them to read the same paper twice. </p>

<p>Yes, it does. You would need different essays for each section, I think</p>

<p>They will be looking at both, hands down. You should make two unique essays based on two distinct facets of your personal life. Do not use the same essay for both… </p>
