Writing an essay for two different majors?

Hey CC,

I am applying to Cal as a rhetoric major, and to UCLA and others as a philosophy major. I’m having trouble approaching the essay about my intended major, seeing as how to prompt is designed for the applicant to specify a single major. Luckily, the essay I would write for either major would be essentially the same, so i’m worried less about content and more about how to approach this essay with two different intended majors.

How can I frame my essay to appeal to both Cal and UCLA? Thanks!
