<p>I made a CommonApp account at the very beginning of my junior year, and I just realized it now with my first application due in about 2 weeks. I'm not sure why I did it so early. Perhaps it was just to get a "feel" for the whole process. I (obviously) didn't do much with it since I was only 16 and couldn't start applying to colleges until the following fall, and I presumed that my account got deleted around the time the 2012-2013 cycle started and after that cycle started, I made my current one. Is there any way colleges could find out about this? Would CommonApp notify the schools? I'm a little worried, so any assistance would be greatly appreciated.</p>
<p>I believe every August all old accounts are wiped clean. If it was still active you wouldn’t have been able to make a new one.</p>
