Basics regarding the common app

<p>Perhaps this is a stupid question, but my son began his Common App yesterday and started by selecting the colleges he will be applying to. He then spent a couple of hours filling out the main application (but only way to do it was to click on one of his colleges). Afterwards, we realized the info was saved for that college but did not transfer to the forms of the other schools. </p>

<p>There's no way he'll need to fill out each regular application (that is, not the supplement part) separately for each college, is there?? That sounds like a very time consuming waste of time. I'm sure there's a better way-- we just don't know what it is :) If anyone out there can help it would be much appreciated!</p>

<p>Gonna reply to myself here-- think we’ve figured it out. Until he fills out the beginning page for each college the other info that he did yesterday won’t be evident. But whatever-- it’s working!!</p>
