Has anyone ever used their 2ndary twice?

Many schools ask very similar essay questions for their Supplemental Material. Would it be wrong or risky to copy what you've already written for School A and paste that into the 2ndary app of School B?

School A: The Admissions and Standards Committee reviews applications from many applicants with strong academic backgrounds and experiences. In the space below, and without considering skills and accomplishments, please describe those personal characteristics you feel make you stand out as an individual.

School B:The Admissions Committee receives many applications from outstanding
and accomplished individuals with strong academic backgrounds, leadership, community service, and work experience. In this question, instead of describing skills or accomplishments, we ask that you discuss the personal characteristics you possess that make you stand out as an individual.

You can copy and paste if questions are similar, just make minor adjustments. I did that and got many invitations 🙂

The only "risk" is if they use TurnItIn and expressly forbid the practice.

I recall doing the same thing. Why start from scratch for each school? That would be silly.
