<p>I find that a few essays I wrote for my EA school can be molded in well with essay topics from other colleges like Harvard, Brown, Cornell, duke, etc...</p>
<p>Im not talking about recycling "why is ***** school right for you" essays, but the ones that tell about my personality and stuff. </p>
<p>THis is alright right? Not like colleges call each other to check</p>
<p>I would imagine so. I mean if two colleges ask you "Describe a person who has influenced you greatly," I don't suppose they expect you to identify two different people just because you're applying to two different colleges. The person influences you nevertheless.</p>
<p>You can definitely "recycle" essays. I used the same essay for MIT and all my common app schools, and modified it somewhat for USC.</p>
<p>i would imagine so... i've been doing it the whole time.</p>
