Hi guys, I’m almost about done with my personal statements and would love to submit sometime tomorrow in the afternoon (Nov. 29). However, would it be a risky move? I’m paranoid about the website crashing tomorrow and I’m not sure what I should do.
Thanks!
I would think there’s more risk of issues the closer you get to the deadline, if not related to the website, than possible tech issues with your own computer, internet, etc. and less time to troubleshoot them.
You should be fine whenever though. I’ll probably apply the 30th.
I say do it when you feel as though it’s completely ready. I know that the UCLA Admissions team is hosting an evening chat on 11/30 in the evening, so I have a strong feeling that a lot of people might be applying late in the day. I had no problems with mine and I submitted on Thanksgiving evening. I can’t imagine that they don’t expect large volumes of applicants in the days before it closes. Just because I’m a little bit paranoid, I would say the earlier the better.
Go for it. I’m doing the same. Can’t wait to get it over with.
