<p>If I miss the Dec. 1 scholarship deadline, will my application automatically still be considered for regular admission even though I checked the Dec. 1st box on some forms I already sent in? Or do I have to call/e-mail and notify them somehow?</p>
<p>Yes, it will, but don’t give up - you still have 26 hours to submit your application before the deadline!</p>
<p>In addition, if your recommendation letters are a bit late, it won’t matter, because they’re not going to read everything in one day. Furthermore, it’s harder for people like me, who cannot fax their god damn recommendation letters because of some stuck up counselor who emphasizes on the student not looking at the rec letters.</p>
<p>If you checked Dec 1, USC probably will consider you for the scholarship as long as you submit the application not too many days late. These server problems happen every year for both USC and the UC system. I’ve read the UC system extends the deadline for one day this year.</p>
<p>On the UC forum is even more panic than this one right now - their deadline is tonight, and there are NINE campuses using that server!</p>
<p>Another poster found a great link with an email address to send your technical problem, and the info you should include - if you send that before the deadline you will be in great shape. They WILL still accept you for scholarship consideration. Check the other server/deadline problem threads.</p>
<p>^ would a server crash be considered a technical problem though? i’m thinking they wouldn’t want thousands of e-mails about the server crash when honestly it’s our fault for putting it off this late. if it works, i’m definitely sending an e-mail because i also have yet to send my app in, but would sending that e-mail automatically secure a spot for scholarship consideration, even after the dec. 1 deadline?</p>
<p>Yes, a server problem is a technical problem. Yes, all of you put it off, but 11:59 Dec 1st is their deadline - it would have been sensible to submit earlier, but you were not required to, and now, still within the deadline, the application cannot be submitted. And when I read the information in that link, it sound as though they are saying that YES, you would still be considered for scholarships if you send the info they request.</p>
<p>And EVERYone won’t be sending emails, just you clever college confidential posters who were lucky enough to get that link!</p>
