Hi, I’m planning on applying to transfer to three different schools. I wanted to talk specifically about one school in my common app essay, so is it possible to change my common app essay after I submit it for one school in order to fit appropriately for the other school? Thanks
Yes you can, but I would be careful when doing so. Be careful if you do end up doing so to not mess up which essays are for which schools, but I have also heard caution against mentioning specific schools in Common App essays. The Common App is for you to speak about yourself, not for you to sell yourself to one school in particular. That’s what supplementals are for. I’m not an expert, but I would think reps would think it to be a bit odd that you mention them specifically in your Common App essay.
Yes many people submit different essays to different schools. They have made it very easy to do so, taking away the correction limits of yesteryear. Comes in handy when applying to different majors at different schools or other situations that need some customization. Just submit the correct essay to the correct school through “My College” section.
Always review the pdf before you hit submit.
