<p>For anyone not using common app, is anyone else trying to save or submit their application? I am, but the server seems to be down... does anyone else have this problem?</p>
<p>Yeah, its running extremely slow for me too. Sometimes not even loading. What a bad time to have server problems!?</p>
<p>I hope they're working on fixing this.</p>
<p>After hitting refesh about 100 times, I got this message.</p>
<p>Failure of server APACHE bridge:</p>
<p>No backend server available for connection: timed out after 10 seconds.
Build date/time: Oct 4 2003 17:54:04</p>
<p>Change Number: 291942</p>
<p>I got that too.</p>
<p>Btw, when they say "by Jan 1" does that mean it could be submitted tomorrow, or BEFORE jan 1?</p>
<p>I dont know. I'm emailing them at <a href="mailto:UAoffice@princeton.edu">UAoffice@princeton.edu</a>, even though nobody is in right now, to let them know about their server problems. Everyone else in the same situation reading this now should do so too-- the more complaints the better. </p>
<p>I'm considering switching over to commonapp.org + Princeton supplement...</p>
<p>I'm freaking out. I've been severely procrastinating and this is god's way of punishing me for doing my essays NOW. "Cannot find server"</p>
<p>Anyone know whether it is due 11:59pm tonight or tomorrow night? (The common app I mean)</p>
<p>They will probably be understanding and extend the deadline, like UCs did</p>
<p>yea and mostly for other colleges u can submit on the deadline, not the day before. I hope someone from princeton admissions can give us a confirmation and update soon. the princeton app site is also down...</p>
<p>uc's were on november 30th. i turned it on 8:00 PM on november 30th. i think you should be able to turn it in tomorrow, January 1st. i learned my lesson last month and turned it in midnight today :D. good luck!</p>
<p>My D applied ED and I had the occasion to talk to the admissions office several times about other things. My impression is that they are very kind, understanding and accommodating and will probably not hold anything against you that is not your fault (such as server going down) as long as you explain the situation to them. This happened with the University of California, in fact the server started going wacky the week before the UC app was due and UC ended up extending the time.</p>
<p>Jan 1 means by 11:59 pm that day but the earlier the better of course because you don't know how congested the server will be. Don't worry - your app will make it through. We have found Pton to be very understanding.</p>
<p>HA! It's back! And jeez, I hope it stays back.</p>
<p>Wait, scratch that.</p>
<p>i am staying up all night hoping their server comes back</p>
<p>I got in ED, and I submitted my app on 11:00 pm on Nov. 1, so submitting it on Jan. 1 is definitely ok. And like another poster said, the people in the office are very compassionate, so even if you sent it in a little late, it will still likely be perfectly fine.
Good luck to all RDers!</p>
<p>Congratulations! But the server is down! I have been sitting in front of my PC all night refreshing over and over. Sob*
Anyone who has any information on the down server, please holler!</p>
<p>it's back..I just submitted =)</p>
<p>I still have server down. No its down again?</p>
<p>I'm with Shu. I got in ED and submitted it at 11:20pm Nov 1. My finaid app went through at 11:59:40pm.</p>
<p>submitted today in the blazin morning. whew</p>
