<p>Hi, I was just wondering, if it would be okay to use last year's Uchicago essay prompt, specifically 'Find x,' as my common app essay for other schools NOT Uchicago. (Uchicago is my top choice, so I'll definitely apply, but obviously not with one of their past essay prompts). Since it is not this year's essay prompt, will it be okay, if I use that prompt for my common app essay for schools like UPenn, Northwestern, JHU,etc. (applying RD)? I was really inspired by that prompt last year when I was browsing through the university website during my junior year...and I feel like I've made a decent essay out of it. If I use it for my common app for other schools, will it reflect negatively that I used the prompt of another school, even though it is not for this year's admission round?</p>
