<p>How do I submit my common app to one school at a time as opposed to submitting all at once? Do I go to that "my colleges" page and then check the college i want to submit and then click submit?</p>
<p>Yep, just check the college(s) on the submit page.</p>
<p>as soon as you submit the app to one college, you can't make anymore changes</p>
<p>are you completely sure that it will not send the wrong app, right? tha's my fear, I still have a couple of schools in the same common app with their suppl. and I am terrified about it!</p>
<p>I don't understand your question...</p>
<p>After you click 'submit' on your Common App, you get to choose which colleges you want to submit to, and then you press 'submit' again and the common app, not the supplement, is submitted</p>
<p>After you have submitted your common app to any school, you cannot modify it anymore, but you can modify the supplements</p>
<p>so, you don't need a different version then, right?</p>
<p>I'm confused... what do you mean by version???</p>
<p>You fill out one common app on one account and submit it to each college seperately or together - what ever you like</p>
<p>there are different versions , if you wish to submit a different essay, if you print one of your apps, look at the number underneath. If you have another version it will be another number. Thus, you can have as many versions of the same app, ant the only "common thing" will be the basic bio, ECs, etc. You can also modify these ecs as well</p>
<p>wait, so when you click on the big "SUBMIT" button on the signature page a thing pops up that allows you to choose which colleges you want to send it to? </p>
<p>and btw, to people who are confused about the versions (this is from the common app website):
Alternate application versions can be used in the event an applicant chooses to provide slightly different information to one institution from another institution. Below are the steps necessary to create an alternate version.</p>
<p>Step1: You must submit the Common Application to at least one institution first. You cannot create an alternate version until this has occurred.</p>
<p>Step 2: You must log out of the application then go to this special URL: <a href="http://app.commonapp.org/application/applicantlogin.aspx?allowcopy=true%5B/url%5D">http://app.commonapp.org/application/applicantlogin.aspx?allowcopy=true</a> and login using your existing User Name and Password.</p>
<p>Step 3: You will be presented with a screen titled ‘Application Versions’, where you will see information about the application you have already submitted. You should click on the ‘Replicate’ link to make an alternate version of your submitted application. When this is complete, a second version will be visible on your screen and a special drop down list that will appear in the upper right corner of your application. You can use this drop down to move between application versions.</p>
<p>All data from your original version of your Common Application will be transferred to your alternate version, with the exception of any documents that you uploaded. You may edit any of this information before you submit it to another institution.</p>
<p>You only need to go to the special URL the first time you create an alternative version. Thereafter, additional application versions can be made by going to the ‘Application Versions’ section within your original Common Application and using the ‘Replicate’ link. You may make up to 10 versions, including the original version. You only need your original User Name and Password to access all versions.</p>
<p>You will have a separate My Colleges page and My Checklist page for each application version. Each institution can only be on the My Colleges list of one application version. If you elect to have multiple versions of your Common Application, please be sure to submit your supplement using the Common App version with which you want it affiliated. If you have not yet identified which version of the Common App it should be connected to, then you should wait to submit until that time.</p>
