<p>I sent in my commonapp essay and paid and applied to 6/8 of my schools (my safeties/state schools). I just realized I uploaded the older draft of my essay. </p>
<p>I can't send/replace the old one now since i paid. what do i do? mail the schools new essays? including the 2 i haven't applied to yet?</p>
<p>also if i posted my college essay on a forum to get help, would colleges call it plagiarizing? I have my name written at the bottom of the post/thread… (posted on essayforum.com)</p>
<p>I thought i could delete my essays whenever but it turns out you need 8 dollars to have it erased…</p>
<p>You can easily change the essay for the schools not yet applied to. Scroll down in Common App Instructions to see how make a duplicate app. Then move schools to that new version and upload correct essay. For others I’d mail them a copy and explain why, if there’s that big a difference. Maybe call first to explain. But don’t wait.</p>
<p>alright thank you. there is only one problem. I am out of the country till the 26th. since i applied last week, i doubt they will get to my app by then. will email/phone adcoms once i get access to a proper computer instead of using this.</p>
