<p>After i wrote the essay for the UChicago supplement i really liked it, would it be okay to use that essay for the common app submitting it to other schools?</p>
<p>Since UC gets the Common App along with the supplement they would be receiving the same essay two times, I would advise against doing so just in the case of the UC application. Plus other schools know about UC essay questions so they may know that all you did was copy and paste and that might lose some favor of your application.</p>
