I really like my common app essay, so I plan on using it for my Notre Dame application. I have changed it a little, so at the end, I say why I want to do engineering at Notre Dame, but I dosn’t really say why I belong at Notre Dame, just why I want to be an engineer…

I know that ND is big on school passion, so is it bad if my essay doesn’t talk about me at ND (it is on hunting and farming). I have been to the ND pre college summer camp, which I think that they use as a recriter to show interest. What I was going to do was in the extra 150 essay section, just right about how I lived at ND, took classes, and felt I belonged etc…so that section whould cover the school passion that my common app essay might lack.

Do you think this is ok…or is a desire to go to ND really needed to be shown in the main essay only?
