hellpp!!!! cant upload essays onto common app

<p>deadline is in less than two hours. i have tried and tried to upload the essays but keep getting an error message
thats all i need to upload! freakin essays :P
sorry, sorta stressing out here
i m not sure what to do. e-mail the essays to the schools?
can i turn in the app without the essays (and just email them)?
please help. thank you. and happy new year (almost - i'm in l.a. its 10 15)</p>

<p>first of all, we're all having trouble uploading documents on commonapp, and you may be late by an hour because I read that all the commonapp deadlines are based on EST. I may be wrong tho, so don't start panicking yet. Hopefully the traffic on commonapp frees up soon so we may all upload.</p>

<p>You are probably already late as CommonApp is on Eastern Standard Time.</p>

<p>However, if you read into the Yale forum, you will see uploading to CommonApp is down for many, a widespread problem. Hopefully, the college you are attempting to submit to will understand this.</p>

<p>How fast is your clicking finger?
You need to keep re submitting untill the server lets you through</p>

<p>Due dates for most universities are on Jan. 1st, so iono you may have more time.</p>

<p>thanks glad thats all over. finally managed to upload minutes before the deadline :]
no, i wasnt looking at the yale thread. i thought i was the only having the problem :D haha i guess im sorta glad i wasnt :]
happy new year.
i spent it doing college apps.
yay.</p>

<p>how did you get it work?!?!?! my deadline is jan 2, though ive been having that problem for three days now, just sent an email to the college whose application i've been having problems with and tomorrow i'm going to call them. ive tried all the possible formats, browsers, names, and even the different computeres in my house and friend's houses... nothing is working!! the document is WELL under 500k, even in pdf format, and in lowercase letters, no spaces, less than 10 characters... i've been clicking for 3 hours already :( HELP!</p>
