<p>I had to furiously click refresh to get mine in 25 hours before the deadline, and I got into a very small window where the site wasn’t down. If that hadn’t have worked I would have needed the extension.</p>
<p>But I suppose that counts as waiting until the last minute and not having foresight. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Read the first few pages of this thread. The site went down on November 29. I guess everyone who didn’t press submit 2 days early is a slacker?</p>
<p>site was up around 3AM nov. 30th :P</p>
<p>LogicWarrior, you shouldn’t have been clicking refresh. That was a pure waste of your time. If you were using Firefox, you’d only have to click the retry button when the page timed out. Clicking refresh is like trying to drive to work, but preemptively turning around to restart your trip from home because you thought you’d hit a stoplight. Waiting for it to time out is like waiting until you actually hit a stoplight to restart your trip from home.</p>
<p>If more people actually knew how to use the internet, I bet the server load would’ve been tolerable.</p>
<p>And the server didn’t actually go down, or at least if it did, it only took a minute or two to come back up. It being a webserver with a capacity of 5000 users, I seriously doubt it’d come back up in a minute or two, so I think it was just incredibly slow. This caused people to assume it was down because they were too impatient to wait for pages to load, and like you, clicked refresh furiously to their detriment.</p>
<p>^ that was some poetic innarweb speak.
:)</p>
<p>For the record Logic, the site wasn’t down since Nov 29. It crashed on Nov 29 but was up most of the time, albeit slow, until about 7-8pm PST Nov 30. For example, I had no problem submitting my application at 6:00pm on the 30th. If you just had to pay and submit your application, you really shouldn’t have had a problem, unless of course you waited till 10:00pm on the 30th.</p>
<p>I respectfully plea that a Moderator please close this thread.</p>
<p>Happy everyone? It’s all over.</p>
<p>Oliver, quit your whining. If you can’t take it, don’t click into this thread. It’s that simple. </p>
<p>MrRevelle, is it really over? Oh…I just checked, it says the deadline has passed for priority filing, however it looks like you can still create a new account to make an application. So maybe it’s not totally over, but the important deadline is gone as of midnight.</p>
<p>Oh…yeah I guess you can still submit an app for non-priority review.</p>
<p>Do you know what that priority review means? Looking at it literally, I would think that all applications reviewed would have be given the same opportunities for acceptance, however, the non-priority applications may not get reviewed. Looking at it that way, I’d definitely want to find an admissions clerk to slip a bit of money to if I was filing non-priority. Personally, I would hope that non-priority applications get viewed less acceptably than priority applications. Of course, I expect that early application filers feel exactly the same way about those that got an extension for priority filing after midnight on November 30th.</p>
<p>They get hundreds of thousands of apps before the deadline and still don’t have enough room for people. I doubt they even consider the ones they get after priority. They usually accept more than will actually enroll cause they know people won’t accept, but I heard last year they had an over-enrollment (at UCLA at least). I don’t see why they’d bother with people who didnt get it in during the month they were given. :P</p>

</p>
<p>Those extras pay for the big office party when they’re done processing applications. Courvoisier, blow and hookers for all!!!</p>
<p>^ LOL 10char</p>
