<p>so yeah,i started my comm apps lately... and its so...complicated!!
i have few questions , so anyone please help me out here~~
1. does common app work for most of colleges?(do collegs require more essays and stuff?or all the info u put in comm app is all you need to fill in)
2. i've searched some schools... and comm app doesnt work, for example uc berkeley.. how often does this occur?
3. how many essays are there for the comm app??
4. if i apply early, can i make changes later, so i can apply RD?</p>
<p>thanks.</p>
<p>1) The common app works for only the colleges that agree to use it. You can find a list of them on the website.</p>
<p>2) A lot of colleges (relatively) have a separate application altogether and do not use the common app - this is the case for the entire UC system.</p>
<ol>
<li><p>The common app itself I believe only has one essay but each supplement has 2 or 3 more.</p></li>
<li><p>I am pretty sure that you can make changes later, but I am not positive.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>If you apply early and are deferred, your application will immediately go to the RD round, you don't have to do anything. If you want to update your CA with additional information (such as new awards you've won, etc.), you will have to do so by email or hard copy to individual colleges as the CA will not let you make modifications once it's submitted.</p>
