My kid did all of the application work (the required fields plus the essays) for a particular college on the Common App but didn’t finish in time for the EA deadline. Now he’d like to push it into RD…but clicking “submit” says its too late for EA and he should look up other dates. No problem. But there doesn’t seem to be a way to choose the new deadline without deleting the application for EA & starting over. Am I looking at this right?
I think you can just switch it within the application (it’s on one of the first pages within the school’s view–probably the first page). In other words, open the page to College XXX and change it there. NOT on the dashboard. I’m pretty sure all of the application stays there until you submit it. Even when my daughter deleted a college from her list, after we put it back in, all of the info had been saved and was still entered. I guess take screen shots of the “review” page so you have a copy to retype from just in case this isn’t the case.
