Which Essay to Use?

So I’m stuck between re-using my UChicago essay or my Yale essay for Harvard. I did “Find X” for UChicago, so it’d be really, really obvious that I re-used another school’s essay, but I really feel like it’s a stronger essay that shows off more aspects of my personality. (I called “x” happiness and used a “mathematical equation” to define happiness that used three distinct memories from my life.) On the other hand, the Yale essay is less of a blatant re-using, and it’s shorter. (I wrote about my mild obsession with cupcakes for Yale, lol).

Anybody want to quickly read through both and give me an opinion on which one I should use? Or give me an opinion without reading them would be fine too. is indecisive

Thanks!
