<p>the common application? I know that you cannot change the common application, but some colleges ask for a supplement. Can you change this part of the common application? Thanks for your help!</p>
<p>The supplements are unique to each college -- there is no "Common Supplement." Therefore you will fill out a different one for each school that requires one and do not need to "change" it for another school.</p>
<p>thanks worried mom. So, to see if I understand... I cannot change the "main" portion of the common app, but the supplements are independant and those can be changed/edited to accomadate the different colleges. </p>
<p>my son is applying early to one college, but applying rd to several others so his "main" common app will be the same for all the schools, but the supplements will be different depending on the schools criteria and the supplements CAN be changed/edited at any time.</p>
<p>thanks so much for your help</p>
<p>I’m not sure you completely understood what I said, so let me clarify. </p>
<p>Each Common App school that requires a supplement has its own supplement – one that would NOT be used for any other college. You can change/edit a supplement whenever you want – up until the time you click on the “submit” button – and then you’re done with it.</p>
<p>The CA people will change their policy next week - you will be able to change the main portion, too.</p>
<p>thank you both so much. it helps a lot.</p>
