<p>im applying to about 10 schools with the common app. can i send my app to only a few of those schools now, and the rest at a later date?</p>
<p>Yup, I'm sending mine one at a time. Sent the first two like this, making minor changes in between, and it's worked.</p>
<p>how bad is it if I make a simple typo mistake in the essay?</p>
<p>get rid of your typo.</p>
<p>I could have: but I noticed it after I hit the send button... Too late now.
I can't do anything now except worry about it</p>
<p>Relax. A simple typo isn't going to make or break you. Correct it now so that you don't forget when you send off more.</p>
