School Forms Page on Common App?

Applying to College Common and Coalition Application
1

<p>When you are logged into the Common App website on your personal account, when you go to the "school forms" tab, and it says that you must sign a waiver. I'm ok with signing it, but at the bottom it says, "By signing and submitting this form, I certify that I understand the above agreements (refering to the waiver). I understand that this information can not be changed once I click the submit button below."</p>

<p>I just want to be sure...this doesn't mean that you can not edit your application anymore after submitting the waiver, right? It just means that you may not "unsign" the form. </p>

<p>Also, do people really check the "no, I do not waive my rights" option? At least one of my recommenders want me to waive my rights, so I assume that it must be done both on the form itself and on the website.</p>

<p>Thanks in advance for your help!!</p>

<p>It just means you cannot change your decision as to whether or not to waive your rights.</p>

<p>General practice is to waive your right to see the recommendations at a later date, under the assumption that a private recommendation will be an honest recommendation. Thus, colleges generally want you to do this.</p>
