<p>It's only the 28th and already I'm starting to see the CA service temporarily lose functionality. I have everything done but I'm still going over my essays and making sure everything is correct. </p>
<p>If the server crashes, making it impossible for students to submit applications, will colleges still hold applicants responsible? Has this happened in previous years?</p>
<p>"will colleges still hold applicants responsible? "</p>
<p>Since the colleges are staffed by irrational and vindictive trolls, of course this is their modus operandi.</p>
<p>Relax. They actually WANT to read your application and find a reason to admit you.</p>
<p>Glad I’m not alone! I also noticed the bugginess as I was trying to submit an app tonight- it wouldn’t let me do a print preview, and commonapp is just slow in general… fingers crossed it won’t crash!!</p>
<p>However, do expect that as the 31st of December nears, 1000’s of students will be trying to submit their applications at the same time. There will be times when the commonapp.org website is extremely slow, so save yourself the stress and don’t wait until the last day.</p>
