<p>Hello there! I was looking at the essay prompt for nmsqt, and I had a few questions. For the essay, it says we can talk about a person who's influenced us; can that be a historical figure? And if so, since i wrote my Common App essay on a historical figure that influenced me, is it possible to just use the Common App essay for the NMSQT Prompt? Thanks in advance!</p>
<p>Sure, I wrote about a historical figure (Bobby Sands) that influenced me. If the Common App essay is on the same topic, I see no reason not to use it.</p>
<p>Son used his common app essay.</p>
