Changes are allowed after submission to any instution. But you have to use alternative version. You can get the instruction from Common App

From Common App’s instruction:

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.

Step1: You must submit the Common Application to at least one institution first. You cannot create an alternate version until this has occurred.

Step 2: You must log out of the application then go to this special URL: http://app.commonapp.org/application...allowcopy=true and login using your existing User Name and Password.

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.

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.

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.

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.
