<p>Hi, I was just wondering if it would be a bad idea to use my common app. essay as a personal statement talk for Notre Dame. The essay prompt I used for the common app. was "Evaluate a significant experience, achievement, risk you have taken, or ethical dilemma you have faced and its impact on you. Although the essay does "...effectively share yourself with us," I'm not sure there would be a better alternative...let me know what you think.</p>
<p>I wouldn't... I have a bad feeling about that.</p>
<p>I don't think it could hurt. I used my ND essay for the common app.</p>
<p>Wait, just a question, is Notre Dame a member of common app?</p>
<p>no Notre Dame doesnt use the Common apps</p>
<p>okay thanks. I actually just found my what major would you choose from the JHU essay, and I go into some self descriptive detail so I think I'm going to choose that.</p>
