<p>if you want to upload another essay for the common app, not the supplement, for different schools you will need to create another account, you will then be able to upload a different essay. this is the only. you will see when you submit the first time, everything will be grayed out and nothing can be changed.</p>
<p>Step 3: You will be presented with a screen titled 'Common Application',
where you will see information about the application that you've already
submitted. You may then click on the 'Replicate' link to make an alternate
version of your submitted application. When this is complete, a second
version will be visible on this screen and a special drop down will appear
in the upper right corner of the application to allow quick access to all
your applications.</p>
<p>It's easy just follow instructions as above. You must submit to one school first though before the alternate versions can be created. My D created 6 version in about 30secs....a different essay here, a different slant to ECs there...Actually it was kindof fun.</p>
