I have a question about the Common App. If i decide to add a school later on to receive my app, can i do that? Like say, I was to send in the common app to one school on Thursday and then send the other one on Saturday? Much help is appreciated.
<p>Absolutely.</p>
<p>ooh yea i had a question..okay.. for some of the east coast schools, do the specific school essays have to be different from the common app essays? cause on the common app, one of the questions are like..what's the most important extracuricular activity.. then for like.. NYU, it asks the same thing.. i wonder if i have to write 2 separate ones or just use the same one? what do you think?</p>
<p>For the common app short answer, you only need to write a few sentences. For the supplements, you can write about a different activity or expand your short answer into a full essay. If they ask you for additional essays, they generally don't want the xact same thing as you have on the commonapp.</p>
<p>thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>im only applying to one school commonapp. OH THE IRONY :)</p>
