<p>The Common App essay says:</p>
<p>You can only submit three different alterations of your essay. Before and between submissions you can make as many changes as you like. We allow these changes to your essay to correct grammar or spelling mistakes, not to submit different essays.</p>
<p>Before you submit your application to the first school, you can make as many changes to the essay as you like. Once you submit your first application, it is considered version 1 of your essay.</p>

<p>I would like to submit a different Common App essay to Brown than to my other schools, but I don't know if the Common App will actually let me do that. Has anyone tried to change their essay more than just minor grammatical tweaks? I have already written this second essay as my Yale supplement, and I think it shows a side of me that I want to present to Brown- more so than my other essay. I'm trying to submit my first CA tonight, so I'd really appreciate any insight/advice. Thanks!</p>
