My kid just submitted applications and it took a looooong time because gateway was really slow. This is just a warning to those of you who are planning to submit everything tomorrow night.
Also, it says “submitted January 15” even though they were submitted today. Don’t freak out when you submit tomorrow and it says January 16. I think it’s because the schools haven’t downloaded things yet??
If you can submit now, DO SUBMIT NOW. I managed to submit my essay questions at lunch (around 12 PST) earlier today, and everything was super smooth (despite our school’s wifi being unbearably slow)
“PLEASE NOTE: The 2018/2019 Gateway to Prep Schools Applicstion is now online. Our systems run on Universal Time (UTC). The submission dates/ time will reflect that but the system will accommodate for deadlines in your particular time zone.”
This makes sense now. I submitted my essays a few minutes ago but it says that I submitted them on the 16th.
