Hello, I clicked on a link of the website of a college I’m interested, and the link caused the college to be added on the common app. I’m not ready for them to be able to see my profile (though I know they can only see a little), and I want to remove them until the time is right. Will they know if I remove them, and if so, will it hurt my standing with them?
I believe Common App does report to the college when you add or remove it from your list of colleges in the Common App. What the college does with that information is up to the college. They may use the information to send you targeted marketing materials, for example.
