For the essay section, you can actually send a different essay to each school. Just add the desired essay when submitting to each uni and change as you change the uni u are submiting to.

You can fill out the common app now (family, background activities testing etc.) you just have to wait to see the supplemental prompts (for each school) until August 1st!
