Did you use a different CommonApp for each school?

<p>Did you tailor your commonapp for each school you applied to, or did you mostly used the same commonapp for each? Me, I used the same one for most.. was pretty straightforward. </p>

<p>Just posing this question here b/c its the coolest forum on the block</p>

2

<p>I used the same one for all my schools :)</p>

3

<p>I used three versions of the Common App, but the only difference between versions 2 and 3 was that I chose to self report 2 ACTs that were already sent to certain schools on #2 and only self report 1 ACT that had been sent to only that school on version 3. For the most part the original, version 1, and version 2 are the same. I just had some typos in the original that needed to be changed for other unsubmitted apps.</p>

4

<p>yeah, i did basically what you did nickel</p>

5

<p>I have three versions, too.
I switched the personal and supplement essay for the first and the third one. I have a slightly different resume for the second version.</p>

6

<p>I had one version for yale early
then some stuff changed</p>

<p>so I made another version for Harvard
then some more stuff changed</p>

<p>and I made a 3rd version for the rest</p>

7

<p>3 versions too! One for a 11/01 deadline, one for 12/01 deadline, and then one for a 1/1 deadline. </p>

<p>Most revisions were because of changes I made in the main essay and new awards that I had to add to my resume.</p>

8

<p>6 or 7 versions.
because of my silly mistakes....</p>

9

<p>3 versions. one w/ essay1 and short answer 1, other w/ essay2 and short answer 2, last w/ essay 2 and short answer 1</p>

<p>I thought once you submit it for one, it freezes the information you put in so you can't change it. Unless you guys mailed...</p>

11

<p>^ That's what I thought? How did you guys have different versions?</p>

12

<p>^ Nah, it does freeze it, but if you check the Help/FAQ, they tell you how to make a new version. Basically, it transfers all the info from the first one, except for the essay.</p>

<p>I did 3 as well:
1 for an early app.
1 for all of them except.....
1 for Yale and Stanford.</p>

<p>haha probably should have known about this...</p>
