HELP! Please! I have a question about the Common App

Applying to College Common and Coalition Application
1

<p>Okay, so I'm applying for multiple colleges on the common app. But I'm applying to one college Early Decision, and the rest Regular Decision (It's not a binding commitment because I require financial aid so I need to keep my options open before I commit to a college and find out that I cannot afford the tuition and then be out of luck because I didn't apply anywhere else).</p>

<p>So the thing is, the college I'm applying Early Decision to, I really love, like absolutely love, and so in the Additional Information section, I'm writing just a short explanation as to why I am applying early decision. However, this shows up on the rest of my apps. I get that part. So I deleted the rest of the apps. </p>

<p>So my question is, after I submit the Early Decision application, and I restart the regular applications, will any changes I make in the Additional Information section affect the app I have already turned in? </p>

<p>So I guess my overall question is: After you turn the app in, will any changes you make to it on the other applications change the app that has already been turned in? </p>

<p>Also, along those lines, if my teachers are writing a recommendation that is specifically geared towards one college, will that show up on every app, even if I don't assign them as a "Recommender"?</p>

<p>PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE ANSWER I need to know because I want to go to this one college but I also can't close my options. </p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>Okay, if you submit additional information to a specific college, you can change that information after the submission. The additional information would stay the same on applications already submitted. </p>

<p>For your recommenders, your letter of recommendations will only show up when you assign them to a college. So if you have someone writing about a certain college, just don’t use that person for the other colleges. </p>

<p>Hope this helps.</p>
