<p>If I am applying to two of Cornell's schools with the primary and alternative option, is it okay if my supplement essays for each one are similar and have many of the same sentences?</p>
<p>I would say that’s not a very good idea because both the primary and alternate college can see the entire supplement.</p>
<p>Yeah, you wouldn’t want to do that. Besides, the two questions are different anyway so you kind of need to do them separately.</p>
