kant_get_in Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 I tried to apply at the last minute, but the online application is closed. This is strange. The deadline posted on their website is Jan. 7th. I guess this could mean that Jan 7th marks the deadline and that the last day to apply to UWO is Jan. 6th, but I took it to mean that Jan 7th is the last day to apply. Is anyone else experiencing difficulties?
Cottagecheeseman Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 why would a snowstorm affect the online thing? And I dunno man - I'm not applying there, but I hope it works out for you!
kant_get_in Posted January 7, 2014 Author Posted January 7, 2014 why would a snowstorm affect the online thing? And I dunno man - I'm not applying there, but I hope it works out for you! The university is closed because of the storm. Does this affect their online apps? I've emailed the appropriate staff members. I'll post any information as soon as I have it.
nutmehg Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 I'm not sure but I go to UWO and was having trouble accessing one of our online teaching sites today that everyone uses- it was a problem that IT was looking at. Not sure if it's related but I would try again or call them! January 7th should be the end of January 7th.
maxhgns Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 Their intarwebz may also be down as a result. Try phoning them. If you can't get through, send an email.
SelfHatingPhilosopher Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 This is why you don't apply last minute. Ever. DHumeDominates, roast beef and kant_get_in 3
ajaxp91 Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 **Note: I'm not a philosophy applicant (though it was one of my majors), just a nosy individual lured here by past encounters will trolls. That being said, after checking on http://www.isitdownrightnow.com I noticed nothing was wrong with the site. To confirm this, I created a test account. Using Google Chrome, I received multiple user errors and could not gain access. Using Mozilla Firefox, I had no trouble (have logged in twice). Try changing browsers. Additionally, I used the direct link on the grad.uwo.ca homepage. Good luck and hope everything works itself out!
hopeontelevision Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 I'm a grad student at UWO in philosophy, and our grad chair posted this on our grad program facebook page earlier today: "I'm very pleased to announce that the deadline for applications for Western's graduate program for Fall 2014 has been extended until Jan. 13th. Best of luck everyone." Hope that helps! DHumeDominates and kant_get_in 2
DoubleHelixx Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 Hey alicehughes, Thanks for the update! Is the deadline extension posted somewhere on the UWO philosophy website?
hopeontelevision Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 The extension is posted here: http://uwo.ca/philosophy/graduate/ Now it says the deadline is Jan 14 at midnight. I think our dept might have been having some technical problems with the online application system. kant_get_in 1
