<p>So I'm applying to Northeastern university EA via the common app. Once i have submitted on sunday, can i go back and change things in my common app later in nov. (i.e edit my essay to make it a little better, add more additional info, etc.). Or will the common app not let me do this? Please, im really worried about this. has anyone gone through the app process and know this?</p>
<p>From a reliable source (my friend who submitted her common app early), the common app locks the common app part of the application, but you can create an alternate application where you can make changes (or you might have to re-do the whole application).</p>
<p>Search in the help section on the common app site for versions and you’ll find the instructions how to save different versions of your app.</p>
<p>Click on the Common Application on the left => Instructions => Application Versions</p>
