<p>I'm bit confused about the application process of college. Should I write one essay and use it for all my applications...or write a different one with each application I fill out?</p>
<p>It depends. If your schools are using the common app then you’ll have the same common app essay for all of them. Or, if they ask for the same prompt as your common app essay you’re fine to use the common app one for them as well. </p>
<p>There’s no need to rewrite essays if you have good ones that fit the prompt. The exception would be “Why school X” essays because the responses should vary by school.</p>
