<p>Hmmm. Maybe some more people will weigh in with opinions, but I think you may have to start over. Read through the instructions and see if you can open a new account. I know you can’t create a new version until you’ve submitted once already, but it sounds like you haven’t done much yet. I don’t think I’ve been much help. Anyone else?</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure that you are not able to change it. However, you could start over with a new commonapp account and copy-paste everything over. It would be tedious depending on how far you’ve gotten, but it would get the job done. Good luck. Someone correct me if I’m wrong!</p>

<p>I suggest contacting common application contact center. There’s a link on right top of the home page.</p>

<p>from another thread I found these posts addressing this problem…</p>

<p>

I suggest everyone who has made the wrong choice to contact CommonApp. I submitted a ticket and they fixed it within 12 hours. If you don’t know how to get there, login and click “help” at the top right corner. Click “contact support” on the right. Select “school forms” under “completing the application.” Continue to look at the FAQ’s and search database and click my answer is not there. And finally, click “ask a question.”

<p>and…</p>

<p>

you can contact the Support Team by clicking “Help” from within you account if you want to change from “don’t want to waive” to “want to waive” and did not invite any recommenders. If you have invited a teacher or a counselor, you can delete the recommender then re-invite them without entering an email address. This action will force the recommendation process offline. You can then print the recommendation forms, sign a new FERPA waiver and give you recommenders hard copy of the LORs.

<p>^Commonapp support is useless. I emailed them when my teacher accidentally pressed “dont submit online” on november 29th (for an app due dec 1st) and they still havnt replied. I ended up not including her req.</p>
