<p>Is it ok to reuse the essay I wrote for the common app extracurricular question (non-transfer) on a transfer application? How about if its for the same college? I guess this is probably either plagiarism or generally not done but I thought I'd ask anyway.</p>
<p>i don't see how you can put it as plagiarism--as long as your ideas are original, i wouldn't classify it as such.</p>
<p>well if i dont cite myself...</p>
<p>but so is it ok? will a college i already applied to remember my essay? and if they do would they care that I reused it? do people generally write new essays for this part?</p>
<p>Yes, people do write essay on the EC part (usually 1 page essay). I don't see anything wrong with using the same EC essay. I mean, even if they remember it, so what? Isn't that a good thing that teh college remember your EC (remeber you)? If that's your best EC and you want to tell about it, then why should you change it?</p>
<p>ok, one last thing point that should be clarified then..will a college keep my old application on file and compare it to my transfer app?</p>
<p>It's only 150 words.......</p>
<p>are you kidding? it's your essay. use it.</p>
