<p>Should be the same thing, I believe.</p>

<p>Hi Chris! It’s the same? So do i put the same response for both of them?</p>

<p>Oh, that’s right, SUNY has two separate spaces. The “personal statement” is about you, the “college essay” would probably be more about your goals.</p>

<p>Oh. Do you have suggestions on what i should write for my personal statement? Like what do you mean “about me”?</p>

<p>This is why I applied through Common App, haha. Just one essay there</p>

<p>I think it’s part of the supplement so either way it’s the same… i think.</p>
