<p>I was thinking of using my UPitt essay (i feel the question best describes me) for the common app essay (under choose a topic). You think its wise? The way I see it is that your putting more effort in an essay instead of dividing work</p>
<p>The essay is your work and it belongs to you. You can use it for as many schools as you want. If you think it would be the best essay choice, go for it.</p>
<p>if its a good essay go for it! why not?</p>
