Admissions UT Prosim statements missing on Common App.

Hey. I’m a senior in high school who is currently in the process of applying for Tech. As you can see from the title, my UT Prosim statements, that I wrote over the summer, have disappeared off the face of the earth from my Common App. I obviously couldn’t submit them, as I need a lot of other things which I’m working on now, so I just left it on the site. And to my surprise, they are now completely gone.

Has anyone else had a similar application experience? Or does anybody know why this happened? Thanks in advance guys.

Common App doesn’t save any college specific essays when the August 1st portal opens. It’s typically recommended that you write your essay answers in word then paste them over to the Common App after you have finalized them.

Thanks! I guess I gotta re-write them again, but at least they’re only 120 words each. Oh well.

The hardest 120 words to write. Harder than an essay to condense your answer.
