<p>Anyone know why it isn't loading? How I can load it?</p>
<p>It's been happening each night for a while...should come back in a few minutes. Don't think my son was on this late though....maybe some maintenance tonight.</p>
<p>Nope, this seems to have been going on mostly the whole night. It was really slow all afternoon, and it's just been plain gone for the last few hours. Probably the last-weekend EA party.</p>
<p>This is why I told all my friends to submit their stuff on Friday. Last year, apparantly, the server did the same thing on Saturday/Sunday/Monday before the deadline.</p>
<p>Server Ops notified...yet to be seen if it makes a difference.</p>
<p>What should I do? Any recommendations?</p>
<p>From MIT at 7:00 AM</p>
<p>many thanks for the alert... we are following up now...</p>
<p>Thanks! Let us know what they say...</p>
<p>Who wrote to you?</p>
<p>A big wig...</p>
<p>Darn. I already wrote my essays and everything. I just haven't copy/pasted them onto my app. (guess my mom was right about high traffic). Any idea as to what time it will be back up?</p>
<p>No information yet! I'm surprised we're the only one's with this problem. I don't know if this is an issue of traffic. While I'm not sure exactly how servers work, It doesn't make sense for nobody to get on. It clearly isn't our fault, so won't MIT have to extend the deadline for EA--we're days before the deadline.</p>
<p>Site has been updated. Must need server rebuild or something else pretty serious. My guess is they will also beef up the traffic capability at the same time.</p>
<p>"The MIT Admissions web site will be offline until approximately 10.00AM EST on Saturday, 10/29/2005."</p>
<p>All of a sudden, 10AM has become 3PM.</p>
<p>I actually saw 10 PM a couple of times...so maybe they meant 10PM to begin with and have become more optomistic. There is always US Mail ;)</p>
<p>This is a bit frustrating. I'm pretty much done, I just need to get on to submit it, but I havn't been able to access it since last night.</p>
<p>Does anyone have the PDF for the entire application, so I do a paper copy if the website never comes up?</p>
<p>This is making me just a tad nervous...I really don't want to have to mail it, plus like lowofo I don't have a usable paper copy.</p>
<p>Wait a minute. I think I've got it! It's struggling mightily, but it's loaded! Let's celebrate MyMIT being back by NOT ALL GOING TO VISIT AT ONCE! =) </p>
<p>I'm guessing there are approx. 3,000 connections to the server right now.</p>
<p>Note: if I can find the Class of '10 MIT application on my computer, I'll upload it to my own server for those of you who need it.</p>
<p>Still have time......kick back, try late tonite. Everyone and his brother is having a parent supervising the submission before the w/e is over. Chill and try again.</p>
