Previous Years Personal Statement

<p>Hi All,</p>

<p>Just had a quick question. Do you think it'll be all right if I used my last year's personal statement #2 (when I applied as a freshmen), to be used for my transfer application this year on the same prompt? Will admissions care?</p>

<p>While I highly doubt the admissions offices will notice if you used the same essay, I wouldn't recommend it. They tend to look for some sort of growth and development based on your essays, and if you use the same one you did last time, then you can't really show that. Plus, there's the chance of being found out, in which I'm pretty sure it'd just hurt your cause.</p>
