Should I make a new Common App account?

<p>I sent 2 applications out of 6 of the schools I'm applying to. I realized I can't change the personal essay, not that I want to change it, I just noticed I submitted the unedited version..
So I was wondering If it would be alright for me to make a new account for my other 4 colleges and send them the revised version of the SAME personal essay.</p>

<p>Thoughts? What do you think?</p>

<p>NO NO! You can create an alternate version for your Common App. On the alternate version, you can change your essays.</p>

<p>How?? Will this affect anything?</p>

<p>Creating a second account can cause significant confusion for colleges and school officials. If we discover a second account, we will shut it down.</p>

<p>Here is a link to an explanation of how to create another version of your common app:
