<p>I accidentally check Asian American instead of just Asian for the common app and now I can’t edit it since I have already submitted it to a EA school. I don’t have American citizenship, only permanent resident. Will this be a problem?</p>
<p>There’s a way to create an alternate app through the common app website-- it gives the directions under the help section. Unfortunately, if you have already sent out teacher and counselor recommendations, the common app number on the bottom of those forms won’t match up with the new, alternate version. I have heard that in most cases, a college can match these things up regardless through social security number and name.</p>
