<p>Is it just me or is everyone else (who hasn't submitted yet) getting the 500 Internal Server Error as well? Maybe this will mean an extension? :o</p>
<p>I’m getting it too. Dang it I finished a few days ago but waited till today.
As for an extension, I don’t think it’ll matter unless the crash extends into the deadline, tomorrow. :(</p>
<p>I just got it too!</p>
<p>This is the exact error message I’m getting:</p>
<p>500 Internal Server Error</p>
<p>Servlet error: An exception occurred. The current application deployment descriptors do not allow for including it in this response. Please consult the application log for details.</p>
<p>@ramboacid
yep, thats the same one im getting</p>
<p>I get it too! Will they extend the deadline?</p>
<p>Yeah, same problem here. I really hope it gets extended. I called the admissions office. They’re closed. I’m emailing them, but they’re probably busy with New Years Eve plans, huh?</p>
<p>I guess they are just helping out those who have a hard time answering “Tell us about the most significant challenge you’ve faced or something important that didn’t go according to plan. How did you manage the situation?”
Now we should all write this to that prompt.</p>
<p>I emailed them. I immediately received a bot message telling me to go away. Or something along those lines.</p>
<p>I think they won’t be back until the 2nd.</p>

That’s hilarious 
Not a bad idea, and they might enjoy the sense of humor. Or not.</p>
<p>Did anyone already download the application and, if so, can you email it to me, send a link? I’ll provide email address off-line. Thanks v much.</p>
<p>they probably did this on purpose to cut out all of us late submitters!</p>
<p>Relax, people, we should work offline for the time being. And we should all email them about the problem so they will know there IS something wrong and we will be alright.</p>
<p>Same here, I never downloaded the application. Weren’t there two?</p>
