<p>i was looking at 11-12 Common App personal statements, and I found the exact same topic that I had answered for my PSEO app (early college) to the U of Minn. I was wondering whether or not I should reuse the essay that got me into the UM or write an essay on another topic.</p>
<p>“Describe a character in fiction, a historical figure, or a creative work (as in art, music, science, etc.) that has had an influence on you, and explain that influence.”</p>
<p>Does a book count as a creative work?</p>

<p>a book is fiction</p>
<p>if its a nonfiction book about a person that inspires you choose the topic “Indicate a person who has had an influence on you and describe that influence.”</p>
<p>Thanks for your help.</p>
