Hello- I have what I am sure is a VERY naive question. S22 is EDing at one school. Obviously that school will look at his Common App Personal Statement, plus his Supplemental question answers.
Can he make changes to the Common App Personal Statement after submitting to the ED school?
If so, will the ED school see the updated edits? or is their copy of the Personal Statement “frozen” at the time that he submitted to the ED school?
Thank you so much, and sorry for the naive question.
The Common app is a one way, one time submission to each school. Once, application is received by a school, any subsequent changes will not be sent. So, yes, you change the personal essay or anything else for schools that haven’t been submitted yet.
Ah, so you could customize the Personal Statement to each school?
You can change anything and it will get applied to future submissions, but not apps already submitted. Personal statement, test scores, etc.
My daughter changed which test scores to submit based on whether the school superscored or not. She also tweaked her personal stmt and activity list a little.
