Cornell essay help!

<p>I'm applying to College of Arts and Sciences as my first choice and CALS as second. They both have essays that are very similar. Can I use the same stuff for both? It will mainly be the first part about how I got interested in my field, but is it okay? Also, when I finish, would anyone mind reading them if I PM them to you? Thanks for any help!</p>

<p>and is there a word limit?</p>

<p>I believe it says that the max is 500.</p>
