<p>hey guys</p>
<p>I'm wondering how we are supposed to send the supplements of some universities like UPenn or Cornell online since we have to sign them. What about the mid term scores, recommendation, and the rest?</p>
<p>Please help me</p>
<p>Well the academic adviser and teacher recommendation portions have to be mailed. (or faxed) so you will be able to sign those… and by doing so you are promising you will never look at them. If you are doing the rest online, your ‘signature’ is just typing your name. Mid semester grades are on the supplements of various schools, and when I had to fill out mine for transferring- our mid term grades were not to be calculated for a few weeks so I just basically guessed. (they probably know you wont lie considering you have to send your final transcript at the end of the semester.)<br>
the only problem i had with my common app is (because i was sending out my apps merely a couple hours before the deadline) i didnt realize that you couldnt alter one and send it to another school… say you sent out an app to UPenn and your essay was allllll about Upenn, you cant just switch it for Cornell. you have to have ‘alternate application versions.’ </p>
<p>sooo… Im not sure if that made any sense to you but i can post the directions to do that anyways. knowing before hand should create an extremely less stressful application night if you wait until the last minute. it will be quite long tho. (and sorry if you already know this.) i just wish i would have!!</p>
<p>Alternate application versions can be used in the event an applicant chooses to provide slightly different information to one institution from another institution. Below are the steps necessary to create an alternate version.</p>
<p>Step1: You must submit the Common Application to at least one institution first. You cannot create an alternate version until this has occurred.</p>
<p>Step 2: You must log out of the application then go to this special URL: <a href=“http://app.commonapp.org/application/applicantlogin.aspx?allowcopy=true[/url]”>http://app.commonapp.org/application/applicantlogin.aspx?allowcopy=true</a> and login using your existing User Name and Password.</p>
<p>Step 3: Upon login you will be taken to the ‘Common Application’ page, where you will see information about the application you have already submitted. The ability to create an alternate version of your submitted Common Application is now activated, and you should click on the ‘Replicate’ link to make an alternate version of your submitted application. When this is complete, a second version will be visible on your screen and a special drop down list that will appear in the upper right corner of your application. You can use this drop down to move between application versions.</p>
<p>All data from your original version of your Common Application will be transferred to your alternate version, with the exception of any documents that you uploaded. You may edit any of this information before you submit it to another institution.</p>
<p>You only need to go to the special URL the first time you create an alternative version. Thereafter, additional application versions can be made by going to the ‘Common Application’ section within your original Common Application and using the ‘Replicate’ link. You may make up to 10 versions, including the original version. You only need your original User Name and Password to access all versions.</p>
<p>You will have a separate My Colleges page for each application version. Each institution can only be on the My Colleges list of one application version. You can move an institution from one version to a different version at any time prior to submitting the Common App to that institution</p>
<p>wow. Wait, I have a question- for example, UPenn has a supplement application. I looked at their website, and I signed up at the common application website- but whenever I log on and try to look at UPenn supplement application on the common application website, I don’t see it. Its all the same …</p>
<p>Perhaps the supplement isn’t available on the common app?? thats very odd, actually. It should say the college name with application, supplement, payments, school forms, and college details labeled below. next to those, there should be a red/blue triange, or a yellow square. And the page tells what each symbol represents. If it says ‘none’ after supplement- then i would call the school, or really search the UPenn website for any info on the the supplemental application form. Otherwise, you definitely should be able to click on the supplement and complete it. (im not entirely sure what you mean by, ‘its all the same,’ so i hope that helped. maybe that supplement is the same as another school’s?)</p>
<p>Also, you may as well call the school and ask. They will surely be helpful.</p>
