So I began my CommonApp around June. I was looking to get a jump on my application, and have since completed basically all of it except the tab under My Colleges where you can select your enrollment year. When I click that tab, it only shows 2017 enrollment options, so I assumed if I waited long enough a 2018 option would show up. I have heard through the CC forums that CommonApp usually opens the next year of application dates around August. Is this correct? Also, will the work I have already done be erased when the system resets for 2018? While I have all my essays and short response answers saved to my computer, I have input a lot of time into CA and don’t want to see that wasted. Thoughts?
All the common app stuff should save but college specific essays wont.
