Here is one more bit of information to help students/teachers if the file is too large to upload.

This comes directly from the Common Application and is posted in their Help Center.

File too large to upload

If your file exceeds the limit of 500k, you can try to reduce the size of your file using the information at Adobe’s site: [How to reduce PDF file size using Acrobat 9](How to reduce PDF file size using Acrobat 9) .

You may also get help from your tech team to reduce the file size. Otherwise, you will need to submit the forms on paper.
