<p>your probably right</p>
<p>If they do give an extension, it will probably be for twenty four hours right? So is it okay to just go to bed now instead of trying to log into the website?</p>
<p>I wonder if this kind of thing ever happens on CommonApp…Or do they have way better servers?</p>
<p>This is semi-infuriating! Only semi because I’m exercising my learned “meditation” right now, or else I’d have gone over the edge a long time ago.</p>
<p>My app was all ready to go LAST week, but PEOPLE had to take forever to send in my recommendations and faxes.</p>
<p>How large should the personal photo be?</p>
<p>Is it supposed to be as small as the photos on the match recipients section or can they be larger?</p>
<p>2am calculus test tomorrow… what luck… was among the first to got in… then i answer the short answer questions… and now i cant submit ****</p>
<p>i asked that earlier and i think they said it has happend but they dont give extensions</p>
<p>Personal photo? Where on the application is this located?</p>
<p>to cm1251</p>
<p>if their servers where down for everyone, or the majority then i believe they would give EVERYONE a 24 hour extention, so you could go to sleep just don’t let what happened today happen tomorrow. this is all hypothetical of course pending on the extention.</p>
<p>^^personal photo isn’t required. just submit the thing. I’m hoping for an extension. Should I stay up past 12? Will they extend it into the morning? I regret not finishing earlier.</p>
<p>@JohnRevka: There’s a personal photo part? What?</p>
<p>I would assume the commonapp servers are waaaay bigger, but they have to process more. Like 500 times more students. and multiply that by a factor of 5, the avg. number of colleges one would apply to, and you got 2500 times 5000 = big…</p>
<p>the photo should be a jpeg and not to big optimize for the web at 72 dpi</p>
<p>@JohnRevka: There was a max. dimension or pixel, but I can’t remember…sorry.</p>
<p>Thanks, rvjorg3</p>
<p>Goodnight to everyone and best of luck.</p>
<p>the photo is somewhere in the beginning</p>
<p>@coocoocachoo It’s at the personal information section. You can post a photo.</p>
<p>I need to know how large the photo should be. The people on the match profile have small photos ([QuestBridge:</a> Students: Student Profiles](<a href=“QuestBridge”>QuestBridge)).</p>
<p>I am not sure if the photos should be this small, or if QB resized their photos.</p>
<p>so the personal photo is not required, correct? i never saw it.</p>
