Sorry to have to be the one to tell you, Shahruck, but it is VERY important to address each essay individually. An essay that has simply been reworded is generally quite easy to spot and doesn't sit well with University Admissions departments. They want to see someone who's really thought about the topic in detail and put a new spin on it, so it's worth analysing the question for each essay.

With regards to the US/UK divide, it's worth noting that admissions essays between the two vary considerably. Whereas in the US Universities are often happy to see more creative flair, UK admissions essays through UCAS are intrinsically focussed upon academic worth. For example, if you are part of a sporting society many US universities would see the experiences of that as potentially worth the content of an essay alone, providing it said something about you as a person. In UK admissions, they would want to know how that sporting society gave you skills or experiences that would be relevant to the course you've applied for, and what those were.

Furthermore, a UK essay (or personal statement to give it its true title) through UCAS is submitted to five separate Universities, whereas US essays are often submitted individually to Universties - with this in mind the focus of your essay is always going to have to change, so rewording is probably not the best idea.

It's a fair amount of work, but it's worth it to get it right. If you have any queries you can of course contact the Admissions Counselors here at ICON+.
