Here are instructions for how to make different versions of the CA, note that you have to submit at least 1 school before you can make alternate versions:

Yes, the CA says that you should only use a single essay for all schools. But that doesn’t make any sense, particularly for transfer students, as supplements vary so much.

My recommendation is to have a general essay version for schools that ask ‘Why School X’ in their supplement, and make other school specific versions for those that don’t.
