<p>but when i print preview my common app, there's a spot for designating early action. when i try to fill it out, i can't find that anywhere! did this happen to anyone else? what do i do? please help!</p>
<p>Don't worry about it; the colleges that you select as Early recipients will see it when they print it.</p>
<p>You select your early school(s) under "My Colleges" in the Application tab. It won't show in your print preview because if it did then all applications you sent out would show which school you're applying early to.</p>
