yohohoy Posted October 14, 2018 Report Share Posted October 14, 2018 Would this be looked down, or more importantly, do they run it through turnitin and it'll look like cheating? Since we're using some of the same activities it's only natural that our descriptions of those activities will be similar. Obviously the overall essay is different because they have a different focus, but still. Thanks in advance to anyone who knows more about this issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiynadoll Posted October 14, 2018 Report Share Posted October 14, 2018 I emailed adcom to not submit my essay in to turn it in because I reused parts from previous years' applications. Edit: My bad, I thought this was a UofT thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, I'll be sure to do that for my UofT essays (some of which are reused from last year) but I'm still wondering whether Western will be running them through turnitin.

ssjgoku Posted October 15, 2018 Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 Did anyone find out if they do run the Western ABS essays through turnitin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erythrocyte Posted October 15, 2018 Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 If they did, I think they would have to disclose that information to us as we have to consent to a third party seeing our work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a good point, especially with the "About you" section being personal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
