When colleges require supplemental essays, do they care about the Common App essays?

<p>Just wondering. I applied EA to UChicago and thought my supplements were really good (I did the prompt pertaining to the two types of people), but my Common App essay is, shall we say, not my best work...</p>

<p>Of course they do. They should be of an equal standard.</p>

<p>Thanks! Oh well, I just didn’t like the Common App one as much.</p>
