<p>I'm applying to Cal and UCLA from UCSD, and I am considering using two of my old (still rather relevant) essays on my application. Is anyone else doing the same? I know someone who got in using the same essays but I want to make sure it's OK before I make a decision. Thanks.</p>
<p>If you didn't get into UCLA/Cal using those essays, I would scrap them and write something else. If you did get in, perhaps you can still use them depending on how relevant they really are</p>
<p>I guess it's up to you and how motivated you feel this time around.</p>
<p>I'm also a UC-UC, but personally I feel like I've gone through a lot of change in these two years, and it will reflect in my essays.
I'm almost embarrassed to read my old essays.</p>
<p>But hell, if you have no problem with them, why not use them?</p>
