I’m hoping to transfer into a 4 year university from community college next fall. I have written my supplemental essays about why I want to transfer to certain schools and what I hope to achieve there. However, 2 of my schools also require the general common app essay that first year applicants use. I don’t know whether to reuse my high school essay about my upbringing (being first gen, immigrant to the US, living in a rough neighborhood, family financial problems) and how that has motivated me to pursue higher education. I would add onto that about how I chose to attend a CC first rather than 4 year. OR should I write a whole new essay focusing on how I did mediocre in a college class but I learned from it and it helped me realize what major I actually want to pursue/what I want to do with my life after college. Any help is appreciated!!
