Yes you can, but I would be careful when doing so. Be careful if you do end up doing so to not mess up which essays are for which schools, but I have also heard caution against mentioning specific schools in Common App essays. The Common App is for you to speak about yourself, not for you to sell yourself to one school in particular. That’s what supplementals are for. I’m not an expert, but I would think reps would think it to be a bit odd that you mention them specifically in your Common App essay.
