<li><p>How do you create multiple versions NOW? I try to go to the part where CA tells you how, but it’s “under maintenance.” Should I just wait and it will come later? Some of my schools don’t have a “WHY X” supplemental essay, and an admissions counselor of one of them said they would like to see my CA essay tailored to that school (Amherst College, to anyone who might wonder for future reference).</p></li>
<li><p>I found that all my colleges have an individual “submission” button for your application. Does this mean that once I click “submit” for one of them I can’t change my CA? (I guess this goes hand-in-hand with #1 above)</p></li>
<li><p>How do LOR writers submit their letters? Or rather, what is the process for them filling out recommendations? I noticed a button on each college’s tab that lets you add recommenders. What happens once you add a recommender in? Will CA email them forms that will let them both write and submit letters as part of the CA? Or are the letters separate from the CA and I therefore have to provide the forms and letters and individually send those letters to each school via snail mail? What about additional recs (other than the advisor’s and the college instructor’s)? i.e., does the CA provide the platform for writing the letters and integrates them as part of your whole CA?</p></li>

<li><p>If the CA is not fully functional now, then you likely can’t do anything until they are up and running. Alternate versions can only be made after the CA is submitted to at least 1 school.</p></li>
<li><p>Once you submit, you can’t edit anything in the submitted application; but you can make alternate versions where you change the essay, etc.</p></li>
<li><p>I do not have access to the new CA, in the past transfers had to send hard copy LORs. Supplemental LORs always have to be sent hard copy; check college websites for directions. If they don’t give any specifics, the main thing is that the writer should include information about you that will enable the LOR to be matched with the rest of your application (eg. your full name as it appears on your app, DOB).</p></li>

<p>I haven’t been on the transfer CA yet (to see if it is different), but the CA provides the ability to electronically invite recommenders to submit under the college-specific supplements. There is a tab you see when you open a particular college under “My Colleges” that says “Assign Recommenders.” When you go to that tab, you’ll be directed to particular colleges’ requirements for recommendations.</p>
<p>^All it says is that I first “invite” recommenders, THEN “assign” them. </p>
<p>I just really hope that it can all be done electronically through the CA</p>
<p>Follow-up question: does anyone know how my HS transcript and course descriptions will be submitted (i.e. can you also submit your HS transcript and descriptions via the CA, or are those individually-sent documents)?</p>
<p>Juvenis,does your high school use Naviance? They can submit electronically through it. However they sent your info for freshman admissions will be the same.</p>
<p>^Yes, they have Naviance</p>
