Re-using essays

<p>Is it okay to reuse an essay you wrote for a school when you applied as a freshman when you apply as a transfer? I withdrew my application a month after I submitted it because I got accepted to another school ED II so I doubt admissions actually read it....</p>

<p>the only problem i have with this is. . . why would you?</p>

<p>did nothing change between when you applied to that college and why you’re applying again? colleges generally want to see that you’re interested in their school, and a freshman would have different reasons than a HS student would.</p>

<p>i mean, maybe you could reuse short essays, but i would just write a new essay for the long essay they might require you to do.</p>

<p>My bad, I should have been more specific. My essays about why I want that school will change but I’m thinking essays about how my background effected who I am, questions like that where my answers really haven’t changed in the months since I’ve arrived at college.</p>
