Yes, I think that is what we are all facing. We are all also facing the supplemental materials application not opening up due to the influx of traffic on the website.
As soon as I got the email, I began my application. I would be an OOS student, having to race to submit these does not feel equitable, especially when competing for 10 spots. Also, my vet LOR said they will submit it this weekend, but if my entire application is held up by one or two small things for a few days, how is that fair, either, if that makes sense. Having just 1 day or 5 days to submit this to even be fighting for 1 of 10 seats feels super unfair...
I am able to submit my application materials, KIRA, etc. on my own and swiftly, but not allowing me to have a fighting chance at a seat due to factors such as LORs or website crashes that are out of my control is not fair. They should have a hard deadline instead of the rolling admissions. This feels like the hunger games.
