Different versions of Common App to different colleges?

How do I send different versions of the Common Application to different
colleges?

It's not too hard! Notice, first, that you don't need to do this unless
you want to say different things to different colleges - let's say you
would be an architecture major at one college but an engineering major at
another. Most students will not need to create different versions. If you
do, here are simple steps:

1. Submit the Common Application to at least one college.
2. Log out.
3. Go to this special URL:
http://app.commonapp.org/application/applicantlogin.aspx?allowcopy=true
and login using your existing User Name and Password.
4. Click 'Replicate.'

All your information from your first version will be in your second
version except for uploaded documents. Now you've got "alternate versions"
(and a drop down menu to prove it!) From there you can create up to ten
different versions!

Having trouble? Come on down and talk to us and we can help you figure it
out. Also, more info is here:
