<p>Do all schools have a Part I? For schools that take the Common App (like Penn) is the Common App the Part 1 (the info they use to make the folder)?</p>
<p>All schools do not have a Part I, though some do. It used to be much more common than it is today. Of the 7 schools my daughter was interested in last year, only George Washington University had a Part I. When my oldest daughter applied seven years ago, every one of her schools required a Part I.</p>
<p>Most applicants are encouraged to apply online today, whether through the Common App or the school’s own application, which is one reason having a Part I isn’t really necessary. Applicants used to be told that the Part I was required for schools to open a file for them, but that doesn’t seem to apply much today.</p>
<p>Does anyone know how to go about a situation like this: I submitted my supplemental application for Boston College and Online Personal Data Form for Georgetown several weeks ago, both indicating that I will be apply EA. However, since then I made a decision to ED somewhere else, so I have to apply to BC and Georgetown Regular Decision now (since they are both Restrictive Early Action–can’t apply to other ED at the same time). </p>
<p>I’ve emailed both of their undergrad admissions offices but both replied back with an automatic email saying that they can’t reply back with the number of emails/spam they get at this time. How can I request a change to both pre-apps?</p>
<p>I’d call them to try to change it. </p>
<p>Stupid question, what’s a part I? Is it a required section that you must send first or something?</p>
