<p>you can always access application versions by going to instructions again and clicking on the alternative versions link.</p>
<p>and yes you add more schools. just look at your toolbar on the left, click on my colleges,and just search for the college, then select add. tada.</p>
<p>So easy; not sure why common app made such a big deal over this and changed it to begin with.....</p>
<p>yea i reached the limit</p>
<p>now what?</p>
<p>don't submit a different essay for each school?</p>
<p>so if I am applying early somewhere, can I choose to send my application only to that single school? I don't know how to get around the "all-in-one" schools that make you submit your supplements with your application because I won't have the supplements for the RD schools finished by the time the ED application is due.</p>
<p>you can send your app one school at a time, and send alternative versions to different schools. go to my colleges, check the school you want to submit to, and press sign/submit. complete. then submit the supplement, by going to supplements, and clicking on that school's "edit." press submit. </p>
<p>why would you need to finish your RD supplements early? just submit them along with the commonapp to your RD school when you're done. that's called all-in-one. </p>
<p>all-in-one does not mean you submit all apps to all early and RD schools at once lol. </p>
<p>ok...i need to work on my own app now, but i'll try to answer quest's.</p>
<p>thank god!</p>
<p>ohhh i see okay thanks for the info, here's what it says directly from the commonapp website that answered my question:</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%5B/url%5D">http://app.commonapp.org/application/applicantlogin.aspx?allowcopy=true</a> and login using your existing User Name and Password.</p>
<p>Step 3: You will be presented with a screen titled ‘Application Versions’, where you will see information about the application you have already submitted. 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 ‘Application Versions’ 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 and My Checklist page for each application version. Each institution can only be on the My Colleges list of one application version.</p>
<p>why couldn't they stick to the old way and let us edit our apps even after we submit it to one school? geez.. and all this stuff about alternate apps.. what the heck?</p>
<p>can u still add colleges after u reach the limit after u submit to at least one school? would that college u applied to be taken out and therefore u can add more in its place?</p>
