premedic Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 I mean it's not due yet???? "The application deadline is 11:59 p.m. (midnight) PDT, September 2, 2008" So, technically 23 more hours to go! What's wrong? Anyone having the same problem?

premedic Posted September 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 hey! so did your payment processed successfully? Or you will do it tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Baron Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 Yes, same problem!! I'm panicking!! it seems the deadline was actually Sept. 1 at 11:59pm (with midnight in brackets...how confusing is that) Anyone else out there have this happen, or know if UBC will still let us submit?

premedic Posted September 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 but there shouldn't be any "seemed like" sept 1 going on. It just shouldn't happen! It says on the website black and white that it should be Sept 2 11:59pm PDT (so daylight saving time, which we're in right now) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
med86 Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 no. my payment didn't go through. after i hit "pay be credit card". then it closed on me. oh my...i really really hope the application deadline didn't just pass by me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCBoy Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 I'm having the same problem too. I hope it's just a mistake. If the problem persists I'm gonna go to the office to complain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
premedic Posted September 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 Thanks BCBoy. I guess they will receive loads of phone calls and emails too tomorrow! and hopefully they revert the error ASAP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Baron Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 It must be a mistake...when I first realized it had closed, I freaked... glad to know others thought the same that I did, I'm going to try and sleep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
premedic Posted September 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 Yea, i panicked too! hence, i posted on here to see if anyone has the same problem. i tried to reason the PDT out, and even if it's not daylight saving time, the deadline should still be in 22-24 hours, not now.

The deadline to apply is September 2, 2008. (faculty of medicine page) The application deadline is 11:59 p.m. (midnight) PDT, September 2, 2008. (OAS page) We still have approx 22 hours.... this is ridiculus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avenir001 Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 ok soo..at 2:04 am it kicked me out (error message)..and now that i've logged back in, there's only a 'view' option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helix Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 I'm having the same problem. I really did understand 11:59pm Sept 2, 2008 to mean 20 hours from now, so the end of Sept. 2? I hope this resolves quickly tomorrow. I'd hate to wait around too long to find out I should make plans to apply a third time and find something else to do next year:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
