<p>My common app essay talks about my passion for writing and how it made me more comfortable with being myself (it sounds cliche, but I promise it’s really well done and also really hard to describe). I talk about a teacher that I had and how remembering what she said helped me realize this. For my Barnard supplement, I had to answer a question about what a fictional character has taught me. I wrote about a character who is a writer and how he helped me overcome writer’s block my helping me redefine creative success. Both refer to separate instances of writer’s block, but is it possible that the adcom will think it was the SAME instance and think I was lying in one of them? They’re both honest, obviously.</p>
<p>Let me see if I understand.</p>
<p>One essay says that you overcame writer’s block by remembering what a teacher said that helped you be more comfortable with yourself.</p>
<p>Another essay says that you overcame writer’s block by thinking about a fictional character who helped you redefine success. </p>
<p>Your concern is that a reader of both essays might think that you made up one of the writer’s blocks, when in reality your essays describe two different instances of writer’s block.</p>
<p>Am I right?</p>
<p>Yes. Hahah sorry, I was freaking out which is why it’s not really coherent.</p>
<p>You have already submitted both essays?</p>
<p>Nope, but I don’t really have much time to do so.</p>
