<p>I think I have seen this somewhere on cc, but I cannot find it now. Anyone know how we can create another version of the common app? We wanted to add to the ‘special circumstances’ question.</p>
<p>See post #65 on this thread. <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/parents-forum/435828-application-procrastination-5.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/parents-forum/435828-application-procrastination-5.html</a></p>
<p><i>I think most sympathetic admission offices will give everyone a day of extra time.</i></p>
<p>Eh, I don’t think the site even lets you submit documents after the deadline - sympathetic be them admissions folks or not, . I can access the site in all of two seconds right now though . . . ?! Maybe there are regional servers or better infrastructura? I’ll be missing some hard-core raves tonight to work on this nonsense . . . bollocksky!</p>
<p>It will crash when I submit my 24 schools’ application</p>
<p>/joke</p>
<p>Min is pretty fast (and i’m using borrowed wifi from my neighbor)</p>
<p>bump plz i need an answer to this lol</p>
<p>150 word limit is like text rape; there is no place to write anything; I wrote a bit about what I did and the impact/experience/etc.</p>
<p>How big of a deal is it if the essay is slightly under 200? I wrote and sent it in a while ago. It’s not a tough read, a lot of the words are short, a few numbers, mostly informational, and impact observations are not very deep. A lot of it is elaborating on awards and stuff I won I couldn’t fit into 100 char for describing activities. Is this a big deal? The essay’s not really that condensible, and the extra ~50 words amounts to 2-3 lines on the common app. Should I worry or do anything about it?</p>
<p>Can that 150 word essay be about a personal activity? Not just an EC, right?</p>
<p>It’s slower than usual, but it’s bearable. Just wait till later tonight. LOL. At least I sent all of mine two weeks ago.</p>
<p>Bit slow right now. later today should get worse</p>
<p>thanks, but when I tried to go to the special link in the thread, </p>
<p><a href=“http://app.commonapp.org/application...allowcopy=true[/url]”>http://app.commonapp.org/application...allowcopy=true</a> </p>
<p>it said</p>
<p>Invalid Access</p>
<p>Did they turn the ‘allowcopy’ function off?</p>
<p>edit–</p>
<p>We got the screen. I clicked the link that was contained in the help section and it gave me the replicate function.</p>
<p>I clicked replicate, and it gave me a screen asking if Iwant to create another verion.</p>
<p>^ Ahh, you carry a harsh tone, but you still haven’t answered my questions very clearly. Thanks anyway. As for your #4 answer, I’ll check.</p>
<p>^ roy2937, it means you can turn it in BEFORE January 2nd.</p>
<p>I suggest submitting the apps as you finish so if it did crash and you couldn’t meet the deadline, at least you would have most of them done. That is what I have done. I have 3 left now.</p>
<p>I put in additional info that I am taking January 26 SATs and letting them know.</p>
<p>Also, I think its annoying when self righteous people ridicule OPs for asking certain questions late. Most likely because I am a procrastinator, but regardless it is unnecessary.</p>
<p>Yep. I’m not even thinking about sending my apps late tonight. Before 6 pm should be good</p>
<p>agree with daiea08, just bc they turned their apps in a little early, they go around ridicule others.</p>
<p>Thanks so much for the advice. I had thought about single spacing, but I was worried that it might come off as obnoxious - like I think they’re too stupid to notice I changed the formatting.</p>
<p>What do you guys think is the absolute max?</p>
<p>Usually colleges ask you to single space.</p>
<p>we successfully created another version, but the system is giving inconsistant msgs:</p>
<p>there are no colleges listed, but when we try to add a college it says it is already in our selection list. the college is in the original version, but was not submitted. A supplement for the college was already created and started, but not submitted.</p>
