<p>i did the same thing as goldowl</p>
<p>doesn’t submitting the same essay to Harvard, Yale, and Princeton hurt your chances if you’re that unlucky guy who gets his application compared to the ones he submitted to other Ivies</p>
<p>^I don’t think they compare your essay to other Ivies.</p>
<p>You also do think that you can get into Princeton. But hey, we all think some things incorrectly sometimes.</p>

<p>@newest newb: Dean’s Date is tomorrow! Don’t you have anything better to do than torture these kids?</p>
<p>In response to the topic, I didn’t analyze the quote, but more used it as inspiration for the rest of the essay. I wrote it with Princeton in mind, and then submitted exactly the same essay to Harvard. It worked =P I think for another place (not one of the Ivies) which had a word limit of some sort, I just removed the quote and the couple of references to it in the essay and the essay stood alone.</p>
