Common app not working; cant apply to stanford?

Applying to College Common and Coalition Application

<p>Hey, can anyone submit apps right now?
I have the perfect character length (-3 characters) for the 3 supplements but it says i'm over? what's going on?</p>

2

<p>Did you count spaces and carriage returns? (A carriage return might count as two characters, not one, depending on how the commonapp.org folks wrote their program.)</p>

3

<p>Okay, i’ll check that thanks</p>

<p>EDIT: it’s not working</p>

4

<p>If it says “-3 characters” it means you’re over by 3 characters. Common App will not send unless you have right/less number of characters.</p>

5

<p>no i meant I’m 3 under the max</p>

<p>Is there like a line-limit?</p>

<p>Need help!!</p>

<p>Hasn’t the deadline for Stanford passed? Like I know the button usually works after 45 minutes or an hour, but are you sure it’s not too late?</p>

<p>Maybe relaunch your browser and try again?</p>

<p>@iMac15 - Stanford’s deadline is 11:59pm PST</p>

<p>Err…gosh. I guess you can try logging out and logging back in? Repasting the essays? I’m not sure what else you can do. =/</p>

<p>I’ve tried all of them. It’s not working!</p>

11

<p>Another thing:
If there’s a different error with a different part of the application (ex> i remvoe the 5 words thing) it works perfectly!</p>

12

<p>That sounds very strange. About all I can suggest is to cut something from each of your responses that’s the perfect length or close to it – maybe the Javascript that checks character length is buggy.</p>

13

<p>yeah turns out that was the case.
I had to run to a friend’s house to use her computer. Firefox messed it up!</p>

14

<p>So you got it in, right? Great job! I was worried about you for a while there, but glad to hear this good news. Good luck with the decision!</p>

15

<p>…And it says that I have sent it in on 1/2/09!!!
Does the support ticket help at all?</p>

16

<p>Yes, hold onto your evidence of filing a support ticket. BUT read the thread below, and relax. Long story short: If commonapp.org accepted your submission and didn’t bounce it with a “deadline has passed” message, you shouldn’t have any trouble. <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/common-application/628753-freaking-out-submitted-12-05-am.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/common-application/628753-freaking-out-submitted-12-05-am.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Common App site is in EST.</p>

18

<p>That happened to me too. I had a nervy b, and then said “screw it” and erased half of my last sentence of the one that supposedly was(n’t) over. Haha. It still makes sense though. Stupid common app…</p>

<p>Okay, i got e-mail confirmation! Crisis Averted!</p>

<p>w00t! Now get admitted! :D</p>
