<p>so I submitted my personal essay to CommonApp and I keep trying to click "View Document" to check that it uploaded correctly, but every time I try to open it, it comes back as an .ASPX file that's just jibberish on NotePad. is this usual or should i try to find some different way to upload my essay?</p>
<p>I’ve been uploading mine as a pdf and it’s worked like a charm. Perhaps try a different file format?</p>
<p>The same thing is happening to me! I tried uploading it as a PDF and it just doesn’t open now… I’m so nervous! Why can’t we view them?!</p>
