OFFICIAL Common Application Questions Thread

<p>Thanks you guys. I tried moving the supplement to the new version but it appears that they locked my college list too. I sent a request to them and I'm waiting on a response now.</p>

<p>No clue.. this is what it says on the CA website:</p>

<p>ALL-IN-1 INSTITUTIONS
The institutions, below, require that BOTH your Common Application AND your Supplement be submitted before your application will be reviewed and processed. Additionally, if you submit your Common Application online to these institutions, you MUST also submit your Supplement online.</p>

<p>non all-in-one colleges start processing your app before the supplement is received... i think</p>

<p>If you sent out any supplements before or during the making of your first version of the common app, those supplements are automatically attached to that version of the common app. I think this problem has occurred because originally they were only allowing one version of the Common App with no changes allowed after the first submission. This poses a problem for everyone that submitted early applications and now wants to make changes for the RD round. If you also submitted the supplements for your RD schools early, they may unfortunately be attached to your first version of the Common App. When I contacted them, they did move my supplement to my second version of the Common App. If you contact them to do this for you, just make sure you have already created the version of the app that you want them to move it to and be very clear about which version you want the supplement moved to.</p>

<p>Also, Rainmama, I don't think there is any way for you to move a supplement yourself. Once the supplement in submitted, it is locked and attached to the current version of the common app. There does not appear to be any way to move it yourself.</p>

<p>I just wanted to bump this up because it's already on the next page. Please help if you can! :)</p>

<p>I really don't have any idea, but I suggest that you don't double space. 3 pages sounded really really long to me, but 1.5 sounds not that bad.</p>

<p>I read on an old thread that someone was told by Penn that an "all in one" school could not download your application unless both the main app & supplement had been submitted to them. Non "all in one" schools could download the two separately, thus their supplement could be downloaded several weeks after the main app if that is how long the student took to submit the supplement. Somewhere else I think I recall reading that some non "all in one" schools liked to have the main part of the application as soon possible in order to better schedule alumni interviews.</p>

<p>Alright. So I clicked on one of the buttons accidentally and I could not unclick the button. Am i screwed? I could not even find a refresh button or anything. Please help MAHHH</p>

<p>please clarify. What button exactly?</p>

<p>those little boxes that says yes or no besides it</p>

<p>err...yes or no for what? yes, you want to submit it? Or yes, you have had a misdemeanor charge or had a suspension? You're still not making any sense...what page was it on?</p>

<p>it was for non-citizens financial aid thing for stanford supplement
and I guess I was not even supposed to touch any part of it.
the question was will you be applying for financial aid? and I impulsively said yes without thinking who it was for..</p>

<p>anyone know how to unclick it?!!</p>

<p>don't save the page. go to a different page. go back to that page. it should be unclicked.</p>

<p>shoot.. i alrdy saved it .. ahhhhhhhhhh
i'll just call the school tomorrow...</p>

<p>isn't there another option?? If you're not going to be 'yes' then just click 'no', then it won't affect you at all -> then call tomorrow just in case</p>

<p>How about making a new alternate version of the main Common Application, and then adding Stanford to your schools for that application and starting the supplement over from scratch? If you haven't submitted the original application to Stanford already, this might work. (See post #65 on this thread <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/parents-forum/435828-application-procrastination-5.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/parents-forum/435828-application-procrastination-5.html&lt;/a> for the directions on how to make another version of the Common App. You will have to upload any essays to the new version. All other information will transfer over.)</p>

<p>Let us know if that works or not--someone else may run into a similar problem.</p>

<p>i didn't feel like reading though allll of the posts but i was just wondering if it would be okay if i submitted a supplementary essay into the additional info part. It's just an essay I had to write for school, but i thought it showed a lot about my character and it talks about an extracurricular activity.</p>

<p>I wouldn't if I were you.</p>
