MA246 Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 My application is greyed out but I thought we had until midnight of the 7th to submit??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Medic Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 My application is greyed out but I thought we had until midnight of the 7th to submit??? My application is greyed out as well. What is going on? I'm totally freaking out and their office is closed tomorrow. I sent Carolyn an email. What else can we do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toastman Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 OMG ME TOO. And I just had one paragraph to finish on my essay. Maybe it's intentional.....extend the deadline again (although this time for supplementary, not the primary) since there was a low number of applicants earlier this week....who knows. Yay for another day of procrastination?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MA246 Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 It has to be a system error. In her email she specifically says that it is due 11:59pm on Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartan Girl Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Mine has done that too ! I just had to enter all the point form descriptions for the extra curricular activities and such. The email also said the office will be closed on Friday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seeking1 Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 I freaked out too, the due date is Friday September 7th, midnight Halifax time. I have the same error though. Looks like they're having computer/server problems. We should all phone angrily tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MA246 Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 I'm going to just wait till the morning and then call Dal and see what can be done. This is definitely a set-back though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bee723 Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 That scared the CRAP out of me, I am so glad to hear that you guys are having the same issue. I was just trying to paste my essay in and I couldn't! Do you think that if enough people leave phone messages or leave emails they will extend the deadline?

I was just trying to paste my essay in and I couldn't! Do you think that if enough people leave phone messages or leave emails they will extend the deadline? I should think so, it sounds like everyone might be affected. I am emailing as many parties as possible from the Admissions office to inform them of the issue. I am attaching screenshots of the "greyed out" zones on my application. Good to have proof with time stamps of these things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyperalgesia Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Oh my god, I'm so glad to hear I wasn't the only one! Went to fill in my finalized essay and some contact info and totally freaked out. Definitely a terrifying experience, I hope it's up by tomorrow so we can all put the finishing touches on!

Spartan Girl Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 I just emailed Carolyn. It was her email which clearly stated Septmber 7th 11:59 PM Atlantic Time as the deadline. Clearly the system didn't get this memo though Hopefully this will get fixed and we'll all be able to submit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quicksilver545 Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Ya glad to hear I'm not the only one... I had just finished editing my essay as well! Everyone, send in an email so that they get things back up and running ASAP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartan Girl Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 So I hate to do this but in the email she also said the office would be closed September 7th... Does that mean nobody will be there to fix this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seeking1 Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Just sent my email off to several people in Admissions! I included screenshots to clarify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that mean nobody will be there to fix this? Thats what I was thinking, which is why I sent my email to several folks in Admissions. If I don't get an email by tomorrow morning, I will be phoning Dalhousie directly and complaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol I feel like we could use this experience if asked about critical thinking in unexpected situations and how we coped with them ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seeking1 Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Lol I feel like we could use this experience if asked about critical thinking in unexpected situations and how we coped with them !

I sent an e-mail to Carolyn with screenshots just in case they only allow those who complained to finish submitting. Can't believe they could make such a huge mistake, the offices must be bombarded with e-mails by now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartan Girl Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 At other medical school interviews? Sure! But not at Dal's, lol.

seeking1 Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Just to get some sense as to how many people are affected by this problem, where is everyone applying from? I am applying from Ontario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
