<p>My D graduated in 2008 and used the common ap for many of her applications. She chose the personal essay option #6 - "Topic of your Choice" and wrote an essay of approx. 600 words. This is the essay that she used for her UNC application long essay response.</p>

<p>On her paper she simply put as her heading "Prompt - " and proceeded to write out the prompt she had created for her common ap essay. Nowhere did she indicate what college or application she had used this essay for. D went on the assumption that when UNC asked "What essay are you answering?", they just wanted to know what question she was responding to. It was easy - she told them.</p>

<p>Following the "Prompt", she wrote a short (70 word) paragraph on why she chose to submit this particular essay (the response to Part B), then centered (and in bold) the title of her essay and cut & paste.</p>

<p>She was accepted to UNC as an OOS student.</p>
