Main reason is that for the supplemental application they ask the same essay question to which my response is exactly the same, would that be a bad call on my part?
Actually, that depends on the question, now that I think about it. If the question is the same, but it is specific to each school, then obviously each answer has to be specific.
My husband and I did the same thing, kept them the same I mean. We did have a few differences but generally for most people it seems it would be the same.
