<p>I have seen multiple people say that you can edit the essay for the common application after submitting to one college. If I submit to more than one college can I still edit my essay if I haven't unlocked it before?</p>
<p>Yes, you can do this.</p>
<p>Yes, you can unlock a total of twice for editing. It’s fine to submit several apps, unlock, revise, submit a few more, unlock, revise again, submit all the rest.</p>
<p>Where are all the rules for submitting the essay? Ie, about unlocking and editing before submitting to new colleges? Thanks.</p>
<p>Look in the help center. Here is an example: <a href=“https://appsupport.commonapp.org/ics/support/KBAnswer.asp?questionID=962&hitOffset=139+113+81+60+34+2&docID=2363[/url]”>https://appsupport.commonapp.org/ics/support/KBAnswer.asp?questionID=962&hitOffset=139+113+81+60+34+2&docID=2363</a></p>
<p>thanks for the info, niceday!</p>
