recycling an essay?

<p>I wrote a mock college essay for English junior year and got a 97. The prompt was one from the Common App. Would it be kosher to submit that essay for the actual Common App, or would it be dishonesty/plagiarism/whatever?</p>

<p>Keeping in mind:
-It was my original work the first time around
-It's edited from the original (mostly for length) but still recognizable.</p>

<p>I tried the search function first, but nothing I saw (unless I was searching wrong?) matched my situation exactly.</p>

<p>I think it should be fine. Speak to your English teacher, just in case…</p>

<p>I should maybe add that it’s on Turnitin because I had to submit it the first time around. Change anything?</p>

<p>If it’s on the internet, I would definitely include a footnote of some sort, and provide some sort of verfication that it’s yours. It’s far too risky not to.</p>

<p>(Turnitin says explicitly that I’m the author)</p>

<p>i’m sure its fine. why would they assign you a common app prompt without accounting for you using it if the assignment god forbid, actually turned out to be useful?</p>
