<p>On the common app…its asks what do u want to add…what do we put? Anything? Should it be an essay or and extracurrilcular…its wierd :).</p>

<p>Second…what hasppens when i sign and submit on the common app.</p>

<p>Third, can i send one application alone and then send the others?? Can I make changes to the application for other schools even though i submitted for one?</p>

<p>1) Could be anything you feel would strengthen your application. Some people need to submit a letter explaining unusual circumstances that have impacted their applications. Some people who feel that their ECs aren’t well-represented on the application submit supplementary materials - for example, you could send a resume if you didn’t have room for everything on the application (!), or if you’re an extraordinary poet you could send samples of your writing.</p>

<p>Of course, none of this is necessary - the majority of applicants don’t submit extra information, and it won’t hurt your application if you don’t. It’s just an option in case you want to clarify or enhance a certain aspect of your application.</p>

<p>2) … it submits to colleges, I believe. Unless you’re talking about something else.</p>

<p>3) Yes. You don’t need to submit to all schools at the same time. In fact, some people prefer to submit to each school individually because if you submit them all at the same time, every school can see where else you’re applying.</p>

<p>If i plan to submit a resume does that mean i cant write anything else in the empty space or is it like add as much as you want???</p>

<p>i meant to say a brag sheet not a resume in the above post.</p>

<p>I think you can just add as much as you want.</p>

<p>where im sending it…or in other words, how do i choose to send them individually?</p>

<p>Not quite sure as to the mechanics because I haven’t done it myself; my guess would be:

  • go to the “My Colleges” page
  • add the 1 school to which you want to submit, and remove all others
  • go to the “Sign & Submit” page, fill out the page, and click the Submit button
  • go back to “My Colleges”, remove your first school and add your second, etc.</p>
