<p>On the RPI supp, they have you submit an essay giving you the option to submit a common application personal statement. Is it okay to reuse the actual personal statement from the common app (the one that I've used already)?</p>
<p>maybe ea/ed applicats could respond?</p>
<p>When I applied last year (I'm a current student), I left that part blank and got away with using only my common app essay. That said, if you feel you would benefit from a second essay, it couldn't hurt to write one.</p>
