Reusing Supplementals Across Schools

Crookshanks · December 2022

Is it okay to reuse material for different law schools' supplemental essay questions? For example, if I wrote about something for Georgetown's 250 word essay, could I use some of that verbatim in another school's optional essay? Or is this considered self-plagarism?

Former admissions officer here. You can use the same content for multiple applications. Just be sure to title each supplemental with the name of the school if your essay uses school-specific language. Good luck!

Howdy, Stranger!
