<p>I already applied to one university with my Common App, and I'm planning on submitting a second one soon. The problem is that my original essay fits one of the prompts for the supplement very well, and I want to switch out my essay rather than submit two that are both about my unique perspective. I know that Common App says to only make minor changes and not write specific essays for each college when you make alternate versions, but do you guys think it would be a big deal to change the essay?</p>
<p>That is their recommendation, but you don’t have to follow it.
Have other people had any problems with their alternate versions?</p>
<p>Using different essays isn’t a big deal. People do alternate versions all the time</p>
