<p>As my common app essay topic? (sorry the title couldn't fit the whole question)</p>
<p>For example, can I use Princeton's "Find x" essay as my common app personal statement? And would that have any negative effect?</p>
<p>bump…???</p>
<p>What is the specific prompt of the essay? Do you have a link?</p>
<p>Sometimes you can use supplements as the common app one. I’d only advise it if it is pretty general (aka the readers won’t be able to know that it was primarily a supplement essay). The Find X essay is the exact opposite of general. And any adcom worth his wages knows about this prompt.</p>
