[LongGraduatedStudent]

Do I need to submit today, or do I have until tomorrow?

just so it is clear, this is for online applications

Check the exact deadline on the school webpage though(it may not be 11.59). I had a school where the deadline was DAY/MONTH 5.p.m.EST.

I have an app due Dec 1st and am having a hell of a time accessing and completing my application. I think there are just too many people (for different programs) trying to access the site; the site was even down for "maintenance" for 10 min. So give yourself plenty of time to deal with the traffic. Hopefully I'll be able to submit this application in 28 hours (at this rate, I can't log in without it timing out). Maybe I should try at 2 or 3am PST...

ApplyYourself is pissing me off too...

For my next set of applications, I am going to try not procrastinate...

I actually didn't procrastinate. I just kept changing my mind about things. This is when being "perfectionist" about your application does more harm than good. I think it's ApplyYourself for me, too....it's just overloaded and not loading my pages even when I finally gain access. The sad thing is that I successfully uploaded a document and the "pdf conversion" messed up the formatting, so I had to delete and try again, except instead of bringing me to the updated page, the system logged me out and I had to start logging in all over again. I recommend that everyone applies at least three days ahead of the deadline.

the damn thing kept freezing everytime I asked for a pdf of my application, after a while, I decided just to cutepdf each page...

It keeps freezing I try to submit...

Another one who had issues with online apps today. Everything has been submitted though! Just waiting for one more recommendation to come through; I will have to remind the professor (nicely!) tomorrow.

Am I the only one who got an error with applyyourself when trying to submit the application fee? I also couldn't get the application pdf preview before submission, but it's due today, so I figured I'd just try to pay the fee and submit, but the whole system seems broken.

Edit: Never mind, the system fixes itself just as I post about it here. >.<

Last night, I was able to submit the application but I could not view the PDF. I just sent it without viewing it. I couldn't bear waiting another second, after trying to upload my documents for five hours. I can only imagine that the system is even more broken now that it's the due date. You'd think they'd be better prepared for the traffic. I wonder if undergrads are using it, too?

exactly the same thing happened to me - i'm glad that it didn't mean by application was corrupt or something

Both UIUC and UCLA had PDF making issues. My solution was to CutePDF each individual page.

My UPenn app and my other UIUC app which are coming up on the 15th and the 1st, respectively, are both also using ApplyYourself, so I can't get free from the damn system...

UFlorida, CUNY, and NYU luckily all use different systems.
