<p>I'm applying to the University of California as a transfer student, and consequently I have two essays to write - prompt #1 and prompt #2.</p>
<p>I'm wondering if the admissions people who read my essays will actually read them in <em>that</em> order (the essay that answers prompt #1, then the essay the answers prompt #2). Particularly, essays' content will be such that reading one essay before the other would largely define what the reader thinks of me overall.</p>
<p>So, does one reader read the two essays in order? Or does one reader read one essay while another reads the other, and then they switch? Or what?</p>
