Sorry if post was confusing; I did in fact mean that EA application was a bit rushed with S1 and as he worked on the other apps, his essays became better and he wound up using a different main common app essay for his RD apps than he had submitted with his EA app.

I hope nngmm is correct and that the common app can be tweaked between submissions to different schools. I didn’t mean if it could be changed for a particular school once submitted to that school. We’re just worried because S2 is very stressed about the whole process and I know his essays will probably get better the further he gets into the process.

tokenadult: Thanks for that clarification about MIT and the common app. We’ve been to their local info session and did the whole campus visit and don’t remember that detail being mentioned. Somehow when I saw the words online app on their website I assumed it was the common app.
