If you apply at a college a 2nd time do they consider your first essay?

<p>Lets say in 2010 you applied at a college and wrote an essay. Later, you find out that you got rejected. Then, in 2011, you apply to that same college again and write a new essay. You are applying as a freshman both times. Do they look at the essay from your first year or do they only consider your current essay?</p>

<p>Why would they? You could reuse the same essay if you wanted, but they won’t go back and find your old one and evaluate you on that.</p>

<p>are you sure? to put it bluntly, if i apply again. i’m going to use a different “story”. and it would be bad to get caught.</p>
