<p>do you guys use the same essay for each common app you send or do you mix it up?</p>
<p>I used the same essay for the long essay. You really don't need to change it up unless you make specific refrences to a specific school in your long essay. You get to change up your application from one school to another with the supplemental essays.</p>
<p>I definitely used the same one. That's what the Common App is for! Don't make it harder on yourself than it has to be. Plus, I think you'll know which one is best.</p>
