<p>Ha! Predictably, it breaks down as I press 'submit.'</p>
<p>YESSSSS!!</p>
<p>It's out! It's finally, finally out! I am compleeeeeete!!</p>
<p>(until mid-December... how am I gonna make it that long... oh heck I know I'll just get deferred anyways).</p>
<p>I'm having worse luck than you, I'm afraid:</p>

<p>i want to send it on sunday...</p>
<p>but that seems too risky now...</p>
<p>By all means, if you're ready and the site's up, take full advantage! It just came back up for me, and apparently, somewhere along the way, Part II got submitted.</p>
<p>I hope it wasn't corrupted or incomplete O.O The server was very spotty and inconsistent, and I must have tried to press 'submit' several times.</p>
<p>wow, that's very scary.</p>
<p>if it is incomplete, then it would greatly lower your chances.</p>
<p>you better hope that its not corrupted.</p>
<p>Joyful Joyful we adore thee MIT IT Staff, because I have finally handed my fate over to the office.</p>
<p>Submitted, finally, and no hiccups. Curiously, the strict online word limit on the optional essays is 640 words, not 500 as stated. This is true for practically all the other essays.</p>
<p>Anyway, this moment deserves a screenshot:</p>
<p>zoogie:</p>
<p>You're a mac guy?</p>
<p>mognoose:</p>
<p>I know that feeling. At least I'm pretty confident about Champaign.</p>
<p>Actually, I'm not, but you have to admit that Macs look unbelievably cool, from the squishing windows when you minimize them (I have a picture of that somewhere) to the pearly white boxes to the whole GUI in general. I'm using Stardock's WindowBlinds (free version) software to make my computer look kinda like a Mac. </p>
<p>It seems you use Windowblinds too, or maybe StyleXP?</p>
<p>Ah, I never saw that message, it must have been forgone in the server hiccups...</p>
<p>zoogies:</p>
<p>I forget what I used, but its a "modified" .dll that allows for the use of, erm, "third party" windows themes.</p>
<p>NeoWin, I remember, Google for Neowin if you want it. Doesn't take up extra RAM (since it isnt a background app), just more processes for your video chip.</p>
<p>I know the MyMIT site is already up, but I accidentally went to this site <a href="http://web.mit.edu/admissions/common/tempunavailable.html%5B/url%5D">http://web.mit.edu/admissions/common/tempunavailable.html</a> that was in my history, so I was wondering if the deadline is still Nov. 1 or Nov. 4.</p>
<p>The deadline has been extended to Nov. 4th. I have no clue why, the site was only down for a day, and not even a whole day at that.</p>
<p>O.O omg YES!!</p>
<p>But you all have learned your lesson and are going to submit soon, far in advance of the extended deadline, yes? :)</p>
<p>Of course, ms. mollie, like the good little children we are =D</p>
<p>MIT has technical issues.....</p>
<p>hahahahahaa</p>
<p>Sabotoge at MIT? Just kidding........I am always amazed that this "computer" school has such a reputation for not doing things well online. HAA HAHA</p>
<p>Oooorrrr it could just be that the school's so popular and that MIT underestimated the impact of moving the blogs up front and really expounding on the Central Meetings?</p>
<p>Is this purely an online or paper and online deadline extension?</p>
<p>I'd call to make sure. I think it'd be unfair if they had different deadlines for online and paper.</p>
<p>I can log in, oddly, so, apparently, yes, on the deadline seems to have been extended to Nov. 4.</p>
<p>"Early Action Deadline extended
10.30.2005</p>
<p>We are extending the deadline for Early Action applications to November 4th as a result of the technical issues we experienced over the weekend.</p>
<p>We apologize for any inconvenience."</p>
<p>If they say the Early Action deadline is Nov. 4th, it's Nov. 4th, whether online or on paper (for postmark), I'd bet on it.</p>
