<p>I really liked the essay I had to write for the National Merit application, and think it fits the topic for Macalester too (I'm applying ED). Would it be frowned upon/not allowed to use the same essay in my application (I'm probably only going to make minor changes), or are there any other reasons why this would be a bad idea? I'd ask my guidance counselor but I really doubt she'd know, and I'm not sure who else could give me an answer.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
