I tried to submit my app at like 11:50 (okay maybe it was 11:55) and IT WOULD NOT GO THROUGH. Anybody else feel all hope is lost? I wonder if they will still take it. Here’s to hoping the admissions gods are feeling generous. Anyone care to share in my misery?
Me. Same problem as you, bud.
What time did yours finally go through?
that’s what happens year in year out to all the last minute stragglers crashing the system
Will I be penalized in admissions evaluations if I submitted my application 15 minutes past the deadline? @BrownParent
I don’t know, it depends on the college. Some colleges have extended deadlines after the fact if the CA crashed.
Lessons learned the hard way. I’ll bet somewhere along the line someone told you or you read somewhere that there was a potential for the system to crash and to not wait until the last minute. I’m amazed at which I am reading this morning about so many students in the same boat as you. It is never a good idea to wait until the last moment to do anything. I hope for you and all the others that your top choice schools will be understanding. Of course, if they do this every year, the deadline will soon become January 2 and then January 3…so on and so on and so on. When you get to college, don’t wait until 5 minutes before your paper is due…the printer might fail you or your computer might crash. Make your own deadlines 24 hours before official and you’ll always be good to go. Good luck.
me!!
It wouldn’t go through but then I got a confirmation email from CA saying that it was successfully submitted. But then when I logged in again it was not. What can I do now? I’m screwed
Update: they’re gonna take it! Dunno if it’ll factor if I get in or not, but they will at least look at it!
