<p>So the other day I was talking to a friend about college apps and we started talking about essays, so I wanted to read mine because I couldn't really remember what I'd written. I had saved the print preview of my submitted common app, but when I scrolled down I couldn't find the essay. Basically, even though I uploaded the essay to the website it didn't show up in the preview. Now I am panicking because that basically means that none of the colleges will have received it and so they'll throw my application away. Is there ANY way I can fix this ???? If I sent it now would they still read it ???? I feel like such an idiot that I somehow let this happen........ Am literally almost crying.</p>
<p>The Common App system will not allow you to submit an application unless an essay is attached, so there is no way you could have omitted it.</p>
