Common App Essay or Supplementary Essays: which are weighted more?

<p>I like both my essays but I don't know which to put where. I guess one is stronger than the other, speaking more about the challenges I've overcome as a person, while the other speaks more about one of my extracurriculars (which in turn speaks a lot about me though through a different lens). Which should I put where if the prompts are open-ended?</p>

<p>I would say that they see the common app essay first, and first impressions last. Best bet here is to have two strong essays relative to each other. Go from personal to professional.</p>

<p>Thanks so much; that makes sense. Anyone have different thoughts?</p>
