<p>I've noticed that most colleges have some supplement prompt asking you to describe one of your extracurriculars, usually in 150 words or less. However, the prompt wording differs among them. For example:</p>
<p>Stanford: Please briefly elaborate on one of your extracurricular activities or work experiences.
USC: In a short paragraph, please briefly elaborate on one of your extracurricular activities or work experiences.</p>
<p>My extracurricular essay is more than one paragraph long, which might disqualify it from USC's prompt. So is it OK if I can reuse the same essay that I'm gonna use for answering these types of prompts for this?</p>
