Not submitting common app the same year that I start it

Hello,

I am filling out the Common App for a few colleges that I want to go to. Thing is, I will not be attending college for a few years. I was wondering if you guys knew if I could start filling out the questions/essays now and just send the application when I need to, or if the data will dump every year when the new application is released. Anybody know?

Info is not saved from year to year .

Please find something more constructive to do with your time! An essay written by you now will be too immature for submitting in ‘a few years’. You need to draw on more recent experiences and vocabulary when you write an essay especially.

All accounts will be wiped on August 1.

Thanks for the help everybody. Just to clarify, I have graduated high school and am going to be entering a program which does not allow access to computers/internet, hence the early application process. I was hoping to fill out the application and then have someone send it for me when time came.

Not only all accounts would be deleted by August 1. The form and essay prompts may change once a while. That happened in 2013 last time.
