The title says it all…If my son submits an essay for one university can he change the essay for his other applications. He has one due on the 15th, but he wants to change it after his teacher has finished helping his class with his final draft which won’t be until the 23rd. I’m not sure why she’s running behind but the other English classes are finished with theirs.
He couldn’t find any information online. Well, he did but it dated back to 2010 and when he clicked on the links they were not valid any more.
Thanks
Yes, he can. Like the rest of the Common Application, the main essay will become fully editable for all applicants at any time. No longer will students be limited to two edits (or a total of three essay versions). While the Common App does not advocate students creating new versions of their essay for each school to which they apply, they thankfully recognize that curtailing students’ ability to alter their essay places undue stress on already anxious applicants!
instructions are on the common app website. Check their knowledge base tutorial.
