<p>Hi, I recently received an email telling me to apply for the Alumni Scholarship at UCLA. There is an essay portion, and I was wondering if it would look bad if I used one of the essays I sent for my UC application. Would they notice that I used the same essay? If anyone knows and can tell me that would be very helpful. Thanks.</p>
<p>I think that if the prompts are the same, you can go ahead and use the same essay. however, if they changed the prompt, you should definitely write a new one. hope this helps.</p>
<p>Well one of the prompts on the Alumni Scholarship are similar to one of the UC prompts, and I think that if I tweak my UC essay just a little, I can make it fit. Thanks for the help!</p>
