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??
…and it looks like it’s down now?
Yep. I guess everyone is submitting their applications now.
update: JUST KIDDING it’s up but it’s extremely slow
I’ll try to submit everything as soon as possible tomorrow.
@egnatius I just got in.
Right now it seems to be very slow, and then it simply kicks me out.
^Same!!!
Maybe get some rest and try early tomorrow morning?
It seems to have sped up a little finally!
I’m so scared now, I just got back my final edits and I’m going to submit soon, but probably a lot of people are also submitting!
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.
Will it count as late?
@ilovechoateeeee No, as long as you submit before 11:59:59 in YOUR time zone. Disregard whatever time it is in UTC.
@gracelilly Thank you.
@gracelilly Ok thanks!
Gateway doesn’t let me paste italics in there. When I am referring to a movie, it isn’t letting the words be italic. Will the schools care?
@ilovechoateeeee I encountered a similar problem as well. Gateway won’t let you put in any italics.
No.
