Common App Supplement Question

Parents Forum
1

<p>My D mentioned that she found a typo in a supplemental essay she wrote. So, being the obsessive, anxious parent that I am, I logged onto her Common App account to take a look. But I don't see where I can read the supplemental essays that were uploaded (as opposed to the main essay which I do see and those essays which were typed right into the supplement which I also see). So now, rather than fretting over a typo (which I wasn't even, really, I wasn't!) I am panicked that she didn't upload the supplemental essays at all. I know she wrote them, I read them and dang it they were good. And I thought she uploaded them but there were so many steps and buttons to push and I was in a separate room paying the fees online so its possible.</p>

<p>I've gone to the supplemental section for each school and where there are buttons for upload preview, delete, you can't hit any of those buttons, nor does it show an attached essay.</p>

<p>Any ideas? Help? Reassurance that its all there and I just can't see it? </p>

<p>I thought this was going too smoothly.</p>

<p>Ok - I just logged into S’s Common App acct and when I clicked on supplements and then a specific college, I had a VIEW button. When I clicked on VIEW I had a PRINT PREVIEW button at the top. I could see the entire supplement including essays from there. Under the essays there were no buttons.</p>

<p>I can completely appreciate your apprehension. Let us know what you see.</p>

<p>Thanks so much. False alarm. If I could insert a blushing smilie face here I would. Clearly I get flustered with tech stuff. She does not. I would have made that kind of mistake. She did not. Its all there, typo and all. And never was I so glad to see a typo. Phew.</p>

<p>I know it by heart cuz I use it a lot - it’s : o without the space.</p>
