advice to people turning in common app late

Applying to College
1

<p>try to leave more than five minutes till 12 before you get on the common app site. it's going slower than... molasses right now. and molasses goes pretty darn slow.</p>

<p>Oh crap! THe website is down! I tried IE and Firefox, but the page just times out. I have to do three more apps!!</p>

<p>Is it ok if I submit it 1 day late?</p>

3

<p>not recommended</p>

<p>chip: ouch</p>

<p>hey: don't worry! it keeps going down, but i find if you wait for like 2 minutes, it goes back up again . hehe, the burdens of a procrastinator</p>

<p>My strategy: Keep common app up while you are writing essays..Just refresh it so it doesn't log you out. If you do this, then it will work fine. I just submitted mine! I am done! I wrote two essays today as well! I started at 3pm. I am retarded..it was for Amherst and Cornell. I leave the hardest to the last...</p>

<p>my computer rocks.
it doesn't really start lagging until like 10 minutes before the deadline. HAHA!</p>

<p>whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa</p>

<p>well it is working now...</p>

<p>oh boy, i just found out that one MORE apps are due today that aren't on Common App (Brown)</p>

<p>...but it is still slower than freezing molasses</p>
