Do universities look at both the Common App Essay and their own writing supplement?

<p>For instance, I'm applying to NYU through the Common Application and, of course, they have they own writing supplement.</p>

<p>Would NYU only look at the writing supplement they gave me or will they look at both my personal essay AND the writing supplement?</p>
