UCOP Extends App Deadline to Dec. 2nd

Well, good job, procrastinators… you broke the UC’s application system. You broke it so badly, UCOP decided to extend the application deadline for Fall 2010 admits to December 2nd at 11:59pm. And who ever said procrastination never pays off?

From a UCOP post at the UC Newsroom site:

For the past two evenings, the University of California online application system has experienced a slowdown that has prevented some students from submitting their applications. Due to these unforeseen circumstances, we are extending the application period through 11:59 p.m. Dec. 2

“Unforseen circumstances.” Suuuure….

Anyways, for those that are still working to submit their app, UCOP will be operating a help line for applicants on Dec. 1st and 2nd from 1pm to midnight. You can reach them at (800) 914-8820 (in California) or (925) 808-2150 (outside California).

Just a friendly tip for our future slugs: you may not want to wait until 11:58pm on the 2nd to submit your application. You know, like everyone else.
