For the Brown essay: How good is it to recycle other essays for that one? It seems pretty open, but most of my other essays are about experiences I’ve had. They reveal stuff about my personality, but it isn’t STRICTLY related to the topic.

Still, the topic’s so open-ended that, if I had to write another essay for it, I’d be really worried about it being too vague.

Just FYI for non-Brown applicants, the essay question is:
“In reading your application, we want to get to know you as well as we can. We ask that you use this opportunity to tell us something more about yourself that would help us toward a sense of who you are, how you think, and what issues and ideas interest you most.”
