<p>I am planning to apply early. I am worried that I may not be able to write the best essay by the common app submission time. Is it possible to change the common app essay after the early round?</p>
<p>yes, you can, however you can only submit 3 different versions of the essay, and you can’t resubmit to a school you’ve already turned your application in to.</p>
<p>After each submission, the essay would be locked. But you can unlocked it twice. So it is not like you have 3 versions of essays to choose from. It is 2 revisions allowed. Nevertheless, you may edit it as many times as you want between submission.</p>
