Common App now editable for different colleges

Dear VI Form -

Beginning tomorrow (Friday, October 19th), you will be able to edit the
Common Application after sending it to a college. This is good news!

What does this mean? You can send different edits of your application to
different colleges.

For example, let's say you want to send your standardized test scores to a
college that requires them, but not to a score optional college. You may
enter your scores and send the Common App to the college that wants the
scores. Then you may go back into the Common App, delete the scores, and
send the new version of the Common App to the college that does not want
the scores. To give another example, if you might study architecture at
one college but design at another, you can change your indicated major
before sending to each college.

As always, please come down or write us if you have questions!

Your allies,

The college counselors
