<p>Asking for an extension form will kind of be a cushion in case the website doesn’t get back up by tonight.</p>
<p>I sent one just in case. It’s supposed to give you an extension if they deem your reason worthy (which they should!).</p>
<p>Where is GA2012MOM in crisis mode-server is still down-</p>
<p>I think you all should submit extension form in case the database crashed.
The server has been down over 2 hours now, not a good sign- if anyone is able to log in please post- the twitter page is not active at all and the FB page has posts regarding the same database server issue.</p>
<p>Does anyone know who hosts their site for the application- i logged in to that link, but did not copy it off,</p>
<p>I’ll send one…This is good because I can edit my essays ahahha</p>
<p>That is assuming they grant that extension we all so desperately want.
They could just as easily say “we told you so.”</p>
<p>Damn it. I hate real world foreshadowing.</p>
<p>Does anyone know what years in the past they have granted the extensions?</p>
<p>And any stress reduction techniques to help calm me down? I’m really freaking out here.</p>
<p>Uh go take a bath or something.</p>
<p>stress eating works.
cookies, ice cream…</p>
<p>…Can the East Coast just go to sleep now lol?</p>
<p>Where did you find the Extenstion website?</p>
<p>@oinkmooblah: Hey, if you’re a senior applying to QuestBridge, you should be able to handle the sleepless nights by now. XD</p>

<p>@sorolla I believed that they have granted an extension in 2008.</p>
<p>I think the more extension requests they receive, the better our chances are to get an overarching extension. I’m just scared that they’ll have the site up at 11PM Pacific and expect us to finish reviewing everything in an hour. That would be terrible.</p>
<p>I just attended an Ivy League advice session a couple weeks ago, and the Stanford rep came up and STRESSED how important applying earlier than the deadline was. They said that a couple years ago they had so many thousands apply at the last minute that it crashed the website and they couldnt accept 1000+ apps. Of course, Questbridge will probably give us an extension, but I didn’t realize how important applying early was until this experience. :D</p>
<p>OK KIDS!
This is from the FAQ section-</p>
<p>Q: I am having difficulty completing my application or online recommendation because the website is not responding. What should I do?</p>
<p>A: The application site may slow down just prior to the deadline due to heavy traffic on our servers. Please be patient and continue to try to complete and submit your application or recommendation by the deadline of 11:59 p.m. Pacific time on September 30.</p>
<p>If you are unable to submit your application or recommendation by the deadline due to technical problems, please submit an extension request by filling out the relevant form available at the following links:</p>
<p>For student applications: [QuestBridge</a> Extension Request](<a href=“http://www.questbridge.org/extensions/students/index.html]QuestBridge”>http://www.questbridge.org/extensions/students/index.html)</p>
<p>For recommendations and other supplemental materials: [url=<a href=“http://www.questbridge.org/extensions/teachers/index.html]QuestBridge[/url”>http://www.questbridge.org/extensions/teachers/index.html]QuestBridge[/url</a>]</p>
<p>the more that complain, the better ^.^</p>
<p>It’s hard to submit it when you can’t even log in…</p>
<p>But thank you for the details. I’ve been alternating between refreshing Questbridge, checking this thread, and finishing homework.</p>
<p>You don’t need to LOG IN- just follow the link on that I just posted-
it will take you to the form-If you dont have your ID number just identify yourself-in the form where you post WHY you are asking for extension.</p>
