<p>OK, my applications are due Jan. 1, so from numerous threads, I got that I have until 11:59 Eastern on Jan. 1. I’m trying to edit my supplements right now [5AM Eastern, Jan. 1], but instead, I see </p>
<p>ERROR: An error has occurred please contact technical support for further help</p>
<p>WHAT IS GOING ON?!!! DID I MISS IT?!!</p>
<p>And yes, I know I procrastinated…</p>
<p>–EDIT
OK, I was able to get into ONE of mine. Is the commonapp site lagging? Does anyone else have this problem??</p>
<p>I have the same problem! I’m so glad I’m not the only one because I was getting worried. My Northwestern supplement hasnt been opening, but my Harvard supplement is fine. I emailed the tech group so hopefully this problem is fixed soon.</p>
<p>Wow, your message is comforting- both because you have the same problem as me and that you’re awake at this time too. haha. And yeah, the Stanford supplement is fine now, but my others are still screwy.</p>
<p>Okay mine finally works! I hope yours does too now so we can breathe a little easier and finish this haha</p>
<p>haha yeah!! I just checked and it WORKS!!! Hopefully it won’t happen again anytime soon and good luck with yours! :D</p>
<p>I know it has been asked before, but I could not find that post:</p>
<p>Do other colleges from your list see where you are applying when you submit the Common Application?</p>
<p>Thanks in advance.</p>
<p>i have the same problem too! i emailed them already and am praying they get back to me before the deadline… which is in less than 15 hours?!! is there any way to call commonapp direct to get it done immediately?</p>
<p>nope! Not unless you put it in specifically in the additional information section (and why anyone would do that is beyond me :P)</p>
<p>okay so i called my teacher last night and she said that she hasn’t mailed her recs in yet and some of them are due today! Howeverrrr, the post office is closed! Do teacher recs have the same deadline as the actual application?</p>
<p>I e-mailed commonapps after i couldn’t open a supplement after trying continuously. The deadline is today</p>
<p>they replied, If your problem is not resolved, please try again three days later.</p>
<p>Wow!</p>
<p>Actually, I have been emailed from colleges, (including Harvard and Stanford) UNSOLICITED reminding me of deadlines, etc. The emails imply that they knew that they were on my common app list. It is very weird, I’m not sure how they knew as I never contacted them for information, application or anything…But it does appear that when you put a college on your list on the common app website that the college gets that information. (Hopefully they don’t get information about other colleges tho…)</p>
<p>You’d be worse off if you didn’t report them, because they get them anyway from the official board and you’d look like you were trying to hide something. They’re fine scores, but Yale is impossible to get into, so focus on your 2nd choice school and just pray for Yale…</p>
<p>I did not report the scores through college board! And I didn’t take the SAT. Now what? Does your answer change?</p>
<p>It doesn’t matter!! Calm down!! If you submit the ACT, Yale does not consider your SAT IIs. When they say they do not consider it, they are not lying. It is a policy, not a joke.</p>
<p>but they will see them anyway?</p>
<p>Make sure that you have unblocked popups…</p>
<p>You could be on any number of lists that get you unsolicited e-mails; usually these are lists from fellow schools that sell your name if you’ve asked them for information electronically. Or from College Board. I doubt it’s from the Common App.</p>
<p>No. They can come in later.</p>
<p>Thanks guys!
And about the emails, I have been getting those too. When you create your Common App acount they ask you whether you want to receive emails from colleges, so if you say yes, I believe this info becomes disclosed.</p>
<p>OMG are you serious?!? You have just made my day! haha..so i should still send it in sometime this week though, right?</p>
