My common app essay?

<p>common app prompt: describe person that influenced you, and that influence
villanova prompt: describe one life lesson you have learned and how it will impact nova community</p>

<p>what if i wrote about a life lesson that a person taught me, and that person is the same one i wrote about in the common app essay, is that 'distinct' or do i have to change it??</p>

<p>nova uses the common app i think. if they do, you should change it because it would be kinda obvious and repetitive that you used the same answer. you done HAVE to, but you should</p>
