Would it be okay to send my common app “topic of your choice” essay as a supplemental essay? I have a fun uncommon essay written, which I’d like to submit, but my common app essay explains a lot of unusual circumstances (medical issues that have been rather central to my life), development of intellectual interests, etc. I spent a long time on the essay, and I think it’s well written and very “me.” But I don’t want to annoy the admissions office with an extra 960 word essay.
