<p>is there any way to use different common app open ended essays for different colleges? or do i only have 1 choice, to use the same open ended essay?</p>
<p>I'm not sure if I understand your question. Do you want to send a different essay for different common app schools? If so, you can somehow copy and rename your application (so you can have, say: School X App and School Y App), and then change the essays.</p>
