Guest jase Posted October 12, 2001 Report Share Posted October 12, 2001 Well, I finally submitted in the past couple of days. I suppose the discussion groups will remain quiet until Jan/Feb rolls around. Good luck with everyone in their studies (and yes, don't forget to study while you're dreaming of your interviews and acceptances for next year! ) Good luck everyone again. See you next year.

Guest JSS02 Posted October 12, 2001 Report Share Posted October 12, 2001 It timed out when I tried submitting today. Anyone else having this problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest done Posted October 13, 2001 Report Share Posted October 13, 2001 If you are having problems with the server, I would suggest that you submit or add to your application during the wee hours of the morning (3-6am worked best). sounds crazy, but at least you're not sitting there starring at a blank screen only to find an error message turn up. All the best. (there has got to be a better way!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JSS02 Posted October 14, 2001 Report Share Posted October 14, 2001 I'm feeling much better now that my app is actually submitted. the slowness of the site was worrying me a lot. Now, I guess all I can do is wait, first for my MCAT scores and then for interview invites/rejections. Good luck everyone... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cali Posted October 14, 2001 Report Share Posted October 14, 2001 I'm almost done...took me 4 hours to enter transcripts info (if I apply again next year...I'm going to get everything in the first day!) Is the submission process LONG? Just want to know if I need to prepare and set aside another 4 hours =) -Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TimmyMax Posted October 14, 2001 Report Share Posted October 14, 2001 Hey, The length is very dependent on the traffic of the site, but I would definitely set aside a few hours just to be safe. I submitted last Tuesday night @ 10PM and it took me 2 hours to go through the 3 or 4 screens. It's best to do it in the wee hours of the morning(3-6 AM), so set your alarm! Best of luck!

Guest JSS02 Posted October 14, 2001 Report Share Posted October 14, 2001 When I tried submitting yesterday evening, it took about 15 minutes. DON'T cancel and try again after pressing submit because you think the system is messed up. It's actually working, you just have to be patient and wait. Otherwise you'll just have to go through the wait again later! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jeffyweffy Posted October 15, 2001 Report Share Posted October 15, 2001 I decided at the last few weeks to go through with one application to McMaster only. I am a non-science student. As I was loading the last of things (my marks) onto the application, Oct 14 at about 2355 hours, the server at Omsas seems to have gone down. So I wonder if I will be able to get the application submitted today! They warned the procrastinators about this.... Good luck all. Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest jeff bishop Posted October 15, 2001 Report Share Posted October 15, 2001 we just gotta keep trying... and maybe document your times. we may have to fight to get an extension on submitting. none will be granted. until the lawsuits hit 24 million Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ricorod Posted October 15, 2001 Report Share Posted October 15, 2001 Yeah, it's 5:15 AM EDT.....I figured now of all times I'd be able to get on, but I guess not! I'm getting pretty nervous and scared, but hoping that either 1) it'll get back up pretty soon, or 2) they'll let us submit a little bit late. Frustrating as hell!

Guest Champ Posted October 15, 2001 Report Share Posted October 15, 2001 Listen dude.... Law school deadlines are in two weeks.... Maybe you should go for law since you are so caught up on the lawsuits. Honestly though....what are our options????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Lara F Posted October 15, 2001 Report Share Posted October 15, 2001 Here's someone else who's been waiting up all night - this is so frustrating! But I imagine their procastination warnings were referring to individual cases of not being able to submit, not for the entire freaking server... *crossing fingers* Anyway, there's still 11 hours left and the server better come back on soon.
