<p>Due to my lack of understanding of the exact way the CommonApplication system works, I have a crucial question: Can I send a different CommonApp essay for each university?</p>
<p>Nevermind, I got my answer:</p>
<pre><code>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.
Step1: You must submit the Common Application to at least one institution first. You cannot create an alternate version until this has occurred.
Step 2: Click on the Common Application link in the left-hand menu. You will see information about the application you have already submitted (named Original). 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.
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.
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.
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.
