<p>I’m applying to UMass Amherst early action tonight. I want to change my essay for schools that I apply to regular decision through the commonapp. Can I do this? Can you send me a link that affirms this, so my parents buy it?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Log into common app, on the left bar there’s your regular tabs for “school forms,” “supplements,” etc. Click on “Instructions.” Scroll down. There’s a complete guide on this under something like “application versions.”</p>
<p>on the website it says that all information from your old version will be transferred to your new version, except the essay. does this mean you can’t change your original essay?</p>
<p>I only have an hour and a half until my deadline. HELP MEEEE</p>
<p>You can change your essay! (That just means they won’t transfer anything you upload, so you’ll have a blank essay.)</p>
<p>EDIT: It’ll work out fine, promise! I did it last week after sending my EA apps and it was great. The only problem was a system glitch with my school forms, but common app solved that and nothing was messed up.</p>
