Computer/Website Tip for Checking Decision Online

<p>Cuz I am a nice guy, and you all want to know if you got in or not as soon as the clock strikes 7PM EST, let me tell you how to prevent being rejected from the server and/or getting extremely slow loadtimes due to massive visits to the Penn admission site.</p>

<li>Try to visit the website at between 5-6PM EST, just so you’re browser is registered with the server. </li>
<li>If you can, every 15 min or so until 6:45PM, refresh the page and/or login and logout.</li>
<li>With 5 minutes till 7PM, if you don’t care about 5 minutes of tediousness, just constantly keep refreshing, or logging into the decisions page, logging out, then relogging back in, etc.</li>
<li>If you’re in your home where someone else might be using the internet on another PC, ask them to not use the internet between 6:45PM-7:10ish EST. </li>
</ol>

<p>The alternative is to wait until about 8-9PM to check and just have it be a little slow.</p>

<p>lovely advice...i bet my computer will break or something at 6:58</p>

<p>Like we aren't going to be logging in obsessively anyway...</p>

<p>Wouldn't it have more to do with Penn's servers than our computers?</p>

<p>Either way, I'm sure that Penn's servers can accommodate 2500 people logging on at once...after all, it's happened before.</p>

<p>I have to wait til my winter concert is over before I can check! :-O</p>

<p>its not my computer that worries me, its my sanity. i dont want people asking me about my decision at school. too bad i cant make an amnesia bubble.</p>
