<p>After you apply to a college with Common App, can you edit your essay? Or is your Common App now "untouchable"? I am a little hazy on this...</p>
<p>I don’t think you can edit it to the school you sent it to.</p>
<p>You can have multiple versions of your application on the Common App site, and modify it for different schools.</p>

<p>The CA term for these changes is “replicate.” Can’t do it for any apps already submitted.</p>
<p>lookiingforward is correct, there’s a difference between whether or not it’s been submitted.</p>
