<p>I by accident submitted my common application as my Yale supplement and vice versa. I created a new version to correct the problem, but it says not to make school specific common applications. It was a honest mistake and now I don't know if I'm breaking the rules somehow..</p>
<p>What do I do?!?!?!</p>
<p>hard to understand what you’re saying</p>
<p>Ok at Yale:</p>
<p>I submitted my supplement essay in my common app essay spot.
I submitted my common app essay in the supplement spot.</p>
<p>(I mixed them up by accident because Yale has an open ended question for there submission)</p>
<p>I created a new version to correct the problem and put the right common app essay, but now I feel like I’m breaking the rules somehow, but I just honestly put them in the wrong spots.</p>
<p>just delete the old files and upload the right essays? if you submitted your application/supplement to Yale already, then im sorry, there isn’t anything you can do. you can’t fix what you turned in. if you have not submitted your application/supplement to Yale, then you can just upload the right essays again.</p>
<p>I’d say call the admissions office when you know that they’re open and explain what you did. I’m sure they’ll get a kick out of it, but otherwise not penalize you for it. They know people make mistakes.</p>
<p>Ok. I was just worried other schools might see that I submitted a different supplement to Yale somehow. </p>
<p>Should I also contact common application to tell them? I can’t believe I was so dumb :(.</p>
<p>Do you think they will be fine with it? I mean they are both open ended questions, so it doesn’t really matter which order they are in I think.</p>
<p>I have already submitted. 
I am so anxiety filled. Will this effect at all my chances at other schools if they somehow find out? Or would this only effect Yale?</p>
<p>Just create a different version and upload the right essay. I ended up with several versions because I wanted to use different essays for different schools.</p>
<p>As for Yale, call them in a few days and explain what happened. No big deal.</p>
<p>Other schools can’t find out if u just make a new version of the application. it’s no big deal.</p>
<p>Oh really? So they will never be able to see what I have submitted to other schools?</p>
<p>the admissions people barely have the time to skim through all the applications. they are not going to find out what you sent to other schools.</p>
<p>And why would they care?</p>
<p>“Oh wow his application is superb…oh wait, he sent a different essay to another school? he has two different common app versions - REJECT!!”</p>
<p>Wait… so you SHOULDN’T use separate versions to upload common app essays that are written for specific schools? Do common app essays have to be general as to not mention/address any specific college?</p>
<p>^The Common App doesn’t want you to. I used two different essays for my 7 schools. If you do use specific essays the schools won’t know. No big deal.</p>
