<p>Hi - I have a quick and important question that I can’t seem to find an answer to. </p>
<p>Last year I applied and was accepted to Virginia Commonwealth University. For various reasons including my mother being very ill, I put off school for a year. I’m submitting an application to VCU again this year for Fall of '09, and I’m wondering if I can use the same 250 word personal statement I used last year on my application? VCU is not a high ranking school and it’s not that hard to get in, I think my grades, resume, etc alone will be enough. But my personal statement from last year was good, and I’d like to use it again if it wouldn’t jeapordize my chances. Thoughts?</p>
