Does the common app server crash right before the deadline...

<p>....like the UC schools, etc? I'm afraid I may be working somewhat into the final hours. Thanks!</p>

<p>Possibly. It`s best to get them down as soon as you can. Better safe than sorry.</p>

<p>I'm fairly sure the common app servers are better prepared to handle the wave of applicants than UC because the handle many more applications. However it IS always best to just apply earlier. Set a deadline 2 days in advance to be safe, and enjoy those two days of not having to worry about an impending essay.</p>

<p>It is always better to submit a few days or so before the deadline just in case. Better safe than sorry.</p>

<p>I do seem to remember there being some difficulty two years ago with the server being overloaded. Best to submit before the 31st.</p>

<p>bump anyone else remember for sure from last yr?</p>

<p>Just here to say it does not crash, but it DOES make it impossible to load any page within 2 minutes, and unable to upload any document whatsoever.
8 year bump.</p>
