Before you create alternate versions of your application, please read and understand the following important information:</p>
<pre><code>**Once the original version of the application is submitted, it is electronically sealed. Although a student may submit to other colleges using this application version, it cannot be edited.
**If you have any questions, please ask the Support Team before submitting your supplement.
You can create an alternate version of your application by following the steps below.
Step1: You must submit the Common Application to at least one institution. When this is complete, you must log out of your account.
Step 2: You must then click on the following weblink: http://www.commonapp.org/CommonApp/Default.aspx?allowcopy=true . You will be presented with a login screen to the Common Application. You must then enter your existing Username and Password and click Login.
Step 3: You will be presented with a screen titled Application Versions, where you will see information about the application that youve already submitted. You may then click on the Replicate link to create an alternate version of your submitted application. When this is complete, a second version will be visible on this screen. A special drop down will appear in the upper right corner of the application to allow quick access to all your applications.
Step 4: You may edit the alternate version to allow for college-specific information.

<p>So until one application is submitted you cannot even test to see if this works…son is rushing with the Common App essay for one EA, and I don’t know if its worth taking a risk just in case the essay cannot be revised to make it better for the other 6 RD’s!!</p>
You should use “alternate application” feature. For some reason, I cannot copy the link to the help page properly, so I will copy and paste the text only.</p>
