I’m applying to transfer from my current school, because I’m not very happy there. I’m applying to a few that I’ve been accepted to in the past, so I was wondering, apart from minor tweaks, would I be able to use essentially the same essays I submitted last year? Since I’ve only spent a quarter in college, I was planning on using my high school essays for the Common App questions. Is this a bad idea? Should all my essays be completely original and rewritten? Thanks for any feedback!
