<p>I was wondering if it was allowed to use my common app short answer for a scholarship contest. The essay I wrote for the common app works really well with the prompt, so I was wondering if its okay to use the same essay?</p>
<p>anyone? please?</p>
<p>Sure, people recycle essays all the time. In fact it is a good strategy if you are applying to multiple scholarships. It is okay if it started out as a common app essay. You may need to do a few tweaks to make sure that it fits perfectly for the scholarship. Good luck!</p>
<p>thank you! that helps me out a lot!</p>
