<p>Is it safe to assume that the same person who reads my common app essay reads my college specific essays? I want to know because I allude to a topic that I extensively describe in my common app essay, saying (please refer to my common app essay). The word limit on the specific essay that I am talking about is such that I cannot adequately describe the topic, so the referral is preferable.</p>
<p>You should not have to allude to any other topic from any other essay and I would be lying if I told you that the same person always reads both. In any case, it shouldn’t matter as there is no need to reference anything from previous essays. Both essays should be on distinct topics revealing distinct aspects of your personality. </p>
<p>Fair enough, I will make some revisions. It just sucks because the topics were distinct, but they went hand in hand.</p>
