<p>I submitted the Duke supplement for the Dec 15 deadline. However, i am not happy with the common application with which the supplement is affliated. I want to use the duplicated version because I had a new essay. Should i create a new account or should i contact the admission office and mail them the changes and my new essay?</p>
<p>You can make a different version of the common app, which you submit to your other schools. Afraid you're stuck for Duke though. Also, you'd need your teachers to redo the recs because of the stupid little numbers at the bottom of each common app. -_-</p>
<p>Schools ignore the numbers on the bottom of the applications.</p>
<p>^Stanford specifically says they need the numbers.</p>
<p>No kidding? That's in total contrast to some of the schools people have posted about on here not caring about the numbers. I assumed the filing system was based on SSN/Last->First Name everywhere.</p>
<p>I had the same issue. Contact the Common App and ask them to move your supplement to a new version of your Common App. I had to ask twice, but they did it. Just get on it right away, because it took a few days and deadlines are looming.</p>
<p>If you already submitted the Common App to the school, you cannot change it or resubmit it. You cannot create a new account.</p>
<p>The best you can do is to send the "new" version by snail mail and ask the college to substitute it.</p>
<p>But I wouldn't; it doesn't make you look good.</p>
<p>Eeek I think the reccs I gave my teachers both had number 1 on the bottom. How much does this matter?!</p>
<p>I had the same problem:</p>
<p>I had to print out all my forms early for my teachers to do the recommendations (they are slow). </p>
<p>Now that I have a new version of my common app, all the number doesn't match at the bottom.</p>
<p>I'm just going to email my admission counselor, shouldn't be too confusing.</p>
<p>The number at the bottom doesn't matter at all.</p>
