I am applying Early Decision to a school that has an optional essay prompt that is similar to the main Common App essay prompt I want to submit to other schools. Can I submit the Early Decision application using one Common App essay prompt, and then respond to a different Common App essay prompt when I'm applying to other schools?
Yes, you can change any part of your Common Application for different school's applications, including your Common App essay and prompt.
