ED Status Checking Problems...

<p>I am an ED applicant, and I recently received an email from Princeton saying I could now check the status of my application. I would have to register but then I could log in and check my status.</p>

<p>However, when I try to register, I get this error message: </p>

<p>“We are unable to process your registration. Error Code: 300
Please contact Undergraduate Admissions office.”</p>

<p>I tried changing the email and PIN, and when I did, I got different error messages, so the system has my email and PIN and is registering it correctly (since it tells me that other ones are wrong). I am completely confident that my username and password are good, because I tried about 50 different ones. Also, I have tried to register on multiple computers in multiple web browsers and nothing seems to be working…</p>

<p>I called Princeton’s undergrad admissions office as the error recommended, and they directed me to the help desk. The person at the help desk didn’t have a solution for me, but said that she would call me back after looking into the problem.</p>

<p>My question is, has anyone else run into this problem, or one like it? Has anyone successfully registered and viewed their status? Does anyone know what Error Code: 300 means? </p>

<p>Any tips on what could be wrong and what I could do to fix the problem are appreciated.</p>

<p>HTTP status code 300 refers to a redirect command, but Princeton’s internal error system may not be referring to HTTP status. </p>

<p>First check your email to see if the server sent you an acknowledgment of your registration. If not, then try to register using the same email and PIN as on your application, some time tomorrow. Then email them, explaining that you cannot view your application status and that you can provide Princeton with your email address and PIN if they need to verify your identity.</p>

<p>I’ve had the identical problem for several days (error code 300). If you get an answer to the problem, post a reply. My mom called ADCOM and found out that my file is complete, but no email or correspondence has been received.</p>

<p>I just got an email from the Princeton helpdesk telling my that they fixed the problems and to try logging in again. Yah right! I tried it again and got the same error message: “We are unable to process your registration. Error Code: 300. Please contact Undergraduate Admissions office.”</p>

<p>The problem is that the system doesn’t recognize my email address, so I responded and told them so. Looks like their tech side is wanting…</p>
