i hate vmcas...i dont understand why they cant get their crap together! the tufts online service never does this, so why must vmcas!!?? i even called, and some guy told me that it is showing the website is up & running. he didnt believe me when i said i couldnt load the page. 😡

When I called earlier the lady just said I should check every half hour or so. Still hasn't been up for most of the day though. 🙁

 

[getupkidschic]

it is back up now....but who knows for how long!

 

[OSJ]

Won't let me on tonight at all either....

 

[getupkidschic]

Apparently the host for the VMCAS site has been experiencing many technical difficulties with their servers. Put this on top of hundreds of people applying all at once and this is what happens. Good luck with it. The best time to work on it without problems will probably be late night/early morning.

As an FYI I got up at 6AM EST and did my last check before pressing submit (which was all I really wanted to do last night...) and the server worked fine. Getting up at ridiculous times when everyone is likely not flooding the server is your best bet.

I'm just banking on being on the west coast and doing it at like midnight-1 am.

Also, nice avatar, Okami is awesome 😍

VMCAS needs to get their s**t together. They know a ton of people apply, and they are making money off of this, no?

Oh well.

Its 3 days until the due date and all the last minute people are trying to get online and do their applications. VMCAS just doesnt have the server capacity to handle that kind of load which is why they say to submit 2 weeks early.

After repeated attempts I was finally able to submit my application... whew!
It is much easier to get on after midnight..God luck!

I am having the exact same problem. Have been trying for 2 days. The link opened and was working fine for me a few weeks ago when I clicked on it. Will this connection problem continue throughout the whole application period? This is really disappointing.

This post is from 2007. Just so you're aware 😉

At least VMCAS is remaining consistent with their quality of service

If anything, it seems to have regressed in the last couple years

It does appear that way for as long as I've been following this site over the years of application cycles. Gotta love monopolies and their "IT departments"
