using the same essay for re-admission

<p>Last year i got accepted to various schools but ended up not going. I want to apply again to some of those schools and was wondering if using the same essay is acceptable. Would it leave a bad impression?</p>

<p>My D faced this same question last year when she applied for transfers, she chose error on the side of caution and NOT use the same essay. She'll never know if it made a difference or not.</p>
