<p>I submitted my app for Villanova Early Action 2 weeks ago. Since then I got my Oct. SAT score back (+110 improvement) and I want to put it on the app. I also want to edit my resume that I submitted under additional information. However, all my info is locked. I want to re-edit my essay too. Is there anyway I can edit my essays and such?!</p>
<p>no, maybe try calling the school and letting them know, but there is no way through the common app.</p>
<p>wow that's pretty ridiculous... if i would of known that I would have had my essay edited more but i didn't because I felt rushed to get in my EA app. you would think they would separate the early apps and regular decision apps. a lot can change in 2 months... oh well i'm still satisfied with my app kind of frustrating though.</p>
<p>You mean you want to change it for the rest of your schools? Create an alternate version, directions are on the common app site.</p>
<p>^thank you so much fhg! i figured it out.</p>
<p>Ohh, i thought you wanted to edit the one you already sent. Nvr mind</p>
<p>Where on the common app site does it give directions to create an alt version? </p>
<p>I was just wondering the same thing, when I saw this thread posted.</p>
<p>Alternate application versions can be used in the event an applicant chooses to provide slightly different information to one institution from another institution. Below are the steps necessary to create an alternate version.</p>
<p>Step1: You must submit the Common Application to at least one institution first. You cannot create an alternate version until this has occurred.</p>
<p>Step 2: You must log out of the application then go to this special URL: <a href="http://app.commonapp.org/application/applicantlogin.aspx?allowcopy=true%5B/url%5D">http://app.commonapp.org/application/applicantlogin.aspx?allowcopy=true</a> and login using your existing User Name and Password.</p>
<p>Step 3: Upon login you will be taken to the 'Common Application' page, where you will see information about the application you have already submitted. The ability to create an alternate version of your submitted Common Application is now activated, and you should click on the ‘Replicate’ link to make an alternate version of your submitted application. When this is complete, a second version will be visible on your screen and a special drop down list that will appear in the upper right corner of your application. You can use this drop down to move between application versions.</p>
<p>All data from your original version of your Common Application will be transferred to your alternate version, with the exception of any documents that you uploaded. You may edit any of this information before you submit it to another institution.</p>
<p>You only need to go to the special URL the first time you create an alternative version. Thereafter, additional application versions can be made by going to the ‘Common Application’ section within your original Common Application and using the ‘Replicate’ link. You may make up to 10 versions, including the original version. You only need your original User Name and Password to access all versions.</p>
<p>You will have a separate My Colleges page for each application version. Each institution can only be on the My Colleges list of one application version. You can move an institution from one version to a different version at any time prior to submitting the Common App to that institution.</p>
<p>^ so there's no way to edit the essays?
really?
can u just send it in by mail instead? is there ANY way? cuz i rushed my essay for ED...wow i am so screwed for college</p>
<p>Thanks so much, Jdcpenner</p>
<p>after you submit an app... your essays are forever locked? even if you can edit your info?
is that right?</p>
<p>No I think your essays aren't even transferred. It appears you have to re upload or can create a new one.</p>
<p>Yes, you have to re upload your essay on the alternate application.</p>
<p>A how-to-create-an-alternate-version thread should be pinned at the top.</p>
<p>ah this thread helped loads. thanks a lot</p>
<p>Wow...The single most useful thread in college confidential IMO.</p>
<p>Definitely the most helpful thread I’ve seen on College Confidential. Thanks a lot!</p>
<p>where do we find the replicate link?? i went to the url, but didn’t click replicate, and logged out. now i can’t find the link. is it gone now?</p>
<p>this just saved my life.</p>
<p>Man, I’m kicking myself for just finding out about this today. I don’t know that it would’ve helped much though since my applications were so easy to do.</p>
