Also how competitive would you say my clusters are?

@The5458Captain‌ I guess it counts

How is the aplication today? Still lagging?

Can we still send it out letter certifying for Free or Ruduce Lunch for financial aid or do we need to fill out the application?

about SAT/ACT scores, I don’t see a field for it. is was there last year…did they take it off?

I can not work in the portal. It keeps on crashing.

ughhhh I can’t access the portal. Watch me stay up until 3 AM to submit it.

Is there more after the main application?

Do you send your SAT score along with the confirmation page and a transcript? They do not ask for it, but I have a nice SAT score so it might be to my benefit.

lol, I was also asking that

I regret that I didn’t finish it earlier now!
Everything feels like a mess now…
Trying to submit it!

I’m so worried I won’t be able to submit my application in time because it’s lagging like crazy aaaaaaaaahhhh :confounded:

I just realized that there is the why you want to be in this cluster essay! I thought I was done! :((

I called COSMOS today, and the guy I talked to said that COSMOS hired some technicians to check out what’s going on, and that should this problem still continue, the deadline might be extended to over the weekend. I don’t know if he just said that to pacify me, though.

All I had left were to to submit my application and print out the confirmation!

One of my teachers can’t submit his rec because the website is lagging.

Hey guys also applying for cosmos at ucd this year…the website is still saying data base error and hopefully it will be back online either later at night or that they will extend the deadline…mannn D:

I hope they extend the deadline until like next week cuz I won’t even be able to talk to ppl at my school for transcript after tmr since I have a 4 day weekend.
I called cosmos and it was on voice mail

i gotcha yeah i might call tomorrow i think we will be fine regardless i knew i should have finished it last week man. D: its the sturggle.

I probably will call tmr too.

Friendly reminder to all of you applying for financial aid:
This year, you can’t use the Free/Reduce lunch as a document. You have to fill out the Financial Assistance Form and attach the first page of your 2014 tax return but blackout social security numbers.

The financial aid really got me frustrated…along with having to fill out a form for an official transcript and the website being down…
