<p>On the Common App, it has a couple of prompts and a "topic of your choice."</p>

<p>Is it okay if I take my UC essay prompt (prompt: describe the world you come from and how it has an impact on your aspirations) and my UC essay and double it as my Common App essay? Or, should I just write another essay for the Common App according to one of its prompts?</p>

<p>Also, is there a word limit for it? My UC essay is about 650 words (a bit over a page). I only see a minimum amount of required words on the common app directions.
Thanks.</p>

<p>It should be fine.</p>

<p>Okay. Great. Thanks!</p>

<p>So, they won't be offended or anything if I use the exact same prompt and paste it on the top? Considering the common application only asks for one essay...</p>

<p>It's perfectly fine. If it would make you feel better, you could change the wording of the prompt so it would be more "your own".</p>

5

<p>Okay. Thanks!</p>

<p>go for it.</p>

<p>You'll be fine. Reuse the essay. If you want, edit the essay to double check if you have everything you want to say on it.</p>
