I ask because there are a few areas of the online app in one of my schools that I drafted in one way and had in their system for a month. I later modified it quite a bit. I would like the one which the adcom is judging me by to the one that I ultimately submitted. But do they keep any sort of records of what you are drafting while the app is in progress?
I know that when you sign up, you do have to check a box recognizing that anything you put in the online app will immediately become available to the school.
