<p>Do colleges keep student's info private or what? Cuz, a lotta people are sending the same essays to different schools and like... is that wrong? I'm very confused cuz with the online common app, it appears that the essay gets sent to all teh schools you apply to with common app :S</p>
<p>Yes. The essay on the Common App is sent to all the different schools, which is perfectly fine.</p>
<p>I understand that, but my question was say... if a school who does NOT use common app has a pretty open ended topic like "write an essay about yourself"... wouldn't i be able to use the common app essay for that school?</p>
<p>Yes, you would.</p>
<p>Oh, awesome! Thank you :D</p>
<p>as long as its your work, you can send it wherever, and they dont care</p>
