<p>You shouldn't trust strangers on the internet. Read the official announcement here:</p>
<p>^^Stanford has had its deadline for REA with Arts supplement as 10/15 for the last several years…and it has NOT changed…only just recently did they EXTEND it to 10/18/13 for some reason this year…so please understand this is NOT the usual date for future applicants!</p>
<p>gravitas2 is correct; sorry if I did not make that clear. I believe Stanford pushed it back because of the issues with CommonApp. I know Georgia Tech and some other October 15 deadline schools allowed some extra time as well. I tried to submit for hours on the night of the 14th and made very little progress.</p>
<p>^^sorry to hear about the problems with the New CommonApp…I had a feeling there was a good reason why they pushed the deadline to 10/18…wish you the best of luck!</p>
