UT Austin Short answer questions

Colleges and Universities A-Z The University of Texas at Austin

I am planning on applying for nursing at UT Austin and for nursing majors, they require two extra essays. However, the required short answer question 1 “Why are you interested in the major you indicated as your first-choice major?” and the first question for the nursing required short answer “Discuss the factors that have influenced your desire to pursue a career in Nursing.” sound the same to me.

Am I allowed to write the same answer for both questions or do I write two separate essays? If I need to two different essays, how do I make them not sound awfully similar?

@gkaekwjd , write two separate essays!

There are many different scenarios where you could potentially reuse an essay that you’ve written for one application, for a different application. This is not one of the scenarios. Not only is this the same application, but they’re two totally different prompts, so you’ll want to approach them with that in mind.
