For his common app, my s would like to reuse some parts of an essays that he wrote last year and submitted for a competition to get an internship. I assume that it is ethical for him to do so since he wrote it himself, however i wanted to make sure that it wouldn't be flagged somehow as plagiarism by the colleges he is sending it to. I don't know how the software works; do colleges compare the applications against everything ever written, or just against other college application essays? (The essay he wrote for the competition went before a blind review panel at a government institution, so the essay itself never had his name on it). If there is any risk of it raising red flags, I will tell him to start over. Thanks for your insight!
