Online common app - confused

My son contacted tech support and was told the application is locked after one submission – this was the decision of the common app members/board/whatever. I think they will get a lot of complaints this year and, hopefully, revisit it next year. My daughter did not use the common app and got into great schools, but I think the supplements still allow a lot of individuality to come out in the process for the kid who wants to really tailor each application. There are tons of questions and essays to write in the supplements each school supplies so I’m not sure the locking is a reason to not use it online. He simply need to use an essay he feels strongly about for the common app and should something happen between EA and RD that is noteworthy, he can contact the schools individually about it.
