<p>My broski has applied to a number of schools, most of which have downloaded his app by now. He interviewed at some before they downloaded his applicafion, however it seemed as though they knew a bit about him before hand.</p>
<p>Is it possible for colleges to "preview" an app before they downloaded it to their electronic database? How about before it's submitted? Thanks everybody.</p>
<p>I dont know if they can actually see the info or not but I KNOW they are aware when you choose the school on the Common App site. DS has received several e-mails “Noticed you’ve started the common applic for our school. Can’t wait to review it”</p>
<p>Their mailing list people get a notification that you have added them to your “Schools I am Applying To” thing, which is why I still get email from Grinnell and BU. I dont think they can see anything until you click “Submit”</p>
