<p>I'm applying EA for a school using the common application. I doubt I'll get accepted so I'll obviously have to apply to schools RD. </p>
<p>Does this mean that once I submit my common application section to my EA school, my common app is locked forever? Will I be able to make any changes to the application for my RD schools? I was planning on fine-tuning my essay, etc.</p>
<p>Correct, rodney. Reliable sources tell us that as of tomorrow (Oct 19) the Common app people will be changing many things back more to the way things were last year, with opportunities to change things like college major, etc. Dont know if the essays will be able to be changed, like last year, or not. Stay tuned!</p>
