<p>I submitted an application in October, and I have a couple updates to make for January 1st deadlines. I'm looking at the application and I can't change anything! It's all grey and stuff.
How can I add more stuff?</p>
<p>Go to the Instructions page and read it again.</p>
<p>You can create an alternate application, which copies your app but allows you to change certain items for colleges to which you have not applied. Here's the FAQ from Common App:
