Hi!
I successfully submitted my Common Application to Dartmouth before the application deadline (11:59 PM, January 2nd). However, when I attempted to submit my writing supplement, the “Review and submit” page keeps loading and the website is not letting me submit my responses. The application deadline has passed, but this seems to be a website-related issue, and I’ve already contacted the support team through the chat feature.
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
Having the same issue here! Does this usually happen around the deadline time?
I’ve submitted other applications before, and I didn’t have this issue. I think it might be a server problem. If several of us are having this issue, hopefully we’ll be able to submit whenever the website starts working again!
Aaaand looks like the Common App chat support went down. I guess this is my biggest reminder to never procrastinate.
Hey! I’m having the same problem with Yale and I don’t know what to do. Has anyone gotten a response?
Nope, haven’t gotten a response yet!
I am literally freaking out. I was just about to pay and the page just froze.
Do you think that they’ll fix our issue? I’m really worried
Same. If this many people are having an issue I think we’ll be allowed to submit later, especially because there seems to be a problem with the website. Many colleges have been extending their deadlines due to technical issues.
I hope so because I’m going to die if not. I submitted Princeton yesterday and I did not have this problem.
Same here!
I was about to say the same thing. Let’s just cross our fingers.
Yep!
I just checked and the problem is with the whole page. It won’t work even with the colleges that have a deadline for next week.
Maybe it’s a lot of traffic on the Common App in general? Yale, Dartmouth, Cornell, UChig, Stanford, are all colleges with lots of applications and have deadlines today… don’t know if Cornell or UChig are on the Common App but I’d definitely expect a lot of traffic, although I wouldn’t expect that their servers would be unable to handle that.
Yeah, that could definitely be the case… I’m pretty sure more people applied this year though. But then again, as you said, I don’t think they’d have a problem handling that.
We are having a problem here, too! Tick tock 12 minutes left!
Update: checked the Twitter, Common App is aware of the situation. Cornell has an extended deadline but a lot of the other college offices are closed for the holidays so I’m a bit worried.
If Cornell extended their deadline, I’m sure other colleges will be made aware of the issue and extend their deadlines as well! And if Common App is aware, I think we’ll be okay!
Yes omg, I just checked Twitter and there are literally thousands of students with the same situation. I feel like I can breathe now.
