[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid did 11 btw EA and RD and can’t imagine doing many more, unless you’re talking applications w no supps.

But our school is hard focused on getting each app right. Teachers will even write a LOR, you submit the app, then teacher will edit for next school etc. So that app to Princeton or Rice or Williams is all about that kid and what they’ll bring to that specific school.

LORs in Common App cannot be edited once submitted.[/quote]
What I mean here is that once a teacher uploads to Common App and the student submits to a school, that teacher LOR cannot be changed. The teacher cannot upload a new LOR for the student for some other college. This is a very important clarification to emphasize if there are any teachers reading here: you [i]cannot[/i] make LORs school-specific for submissions through Common App.[/quote]

this isn't true. you have to withdraw and resubmit, but it's fine.

[b]you can also edit common app essay, activities list, additional info .. all of it. my kid did that for every school.[/b][/quote]

Mine did this. Based on what each T20 wants (looked at mission statement and AO scoring rubric; listened to AO podcasts and webinars; reviewed strategic plan and new areas of university focus or investment). Even tweaked primary/secondary major choice and career goals for EVERY application.

Exhausting process. It is not rinse and repeat if  you are submitting selective RD apps - highly customized to what schools value.[/quote]
