You can sign into your Common App account and access PDFs of your submitted applications in the My colleges - Overview section. The PDF copy includes your responses to Common App questions and college-specific questions. It does not include any information about your counselor forms or other letters of recommendation.
Common App is paperless, so students are not able to print and send in a paper copy of the application to colleges. Only admission offices are able to print applications without the preview watermark. This is to ensure that colleges do not receive multiple applications from one student.
Colleges can choose to hide (or suppress) certain Common App answers on their PDF of your application. They will, however, still receive your answers that are not included in the PDF. These questions and answers can include: Any or all test information.
