<p>What is happening? Does this mean I’m rejected? :(</p>

mailed the admission office and got nowhere</p>

<p>I don’t think it has anything to do with your rejection or acceptance, don’t worry! :slight_smile:
There is probably a problem with the server. Just call the office to get it fixed!</p>

<p>I used to have same problem and then it works again…
don’t worry about it…maybe try with different computer? :]</p>

<p>Make sure that you are entering in everything correctly… especially your birthdate. My son put his in wrong (I think with 2 digits for the year instead of 4) and got the same message as you. </p>

<p>He thought (logically, IMO) that he had entered everything correctly since the message didn’t seem to imply that he had entered something wrong… it recognized him… repeated his name and b-day on the screen. But after getting the message for a couple of days, he somehow noticed the instructions about digits, and entered correctly, and it worked.</p>

<p>Just to confirm, he did try entering again with the incorrect number of digits and got the same error message. </p>

<p>He’s been accepted ED, so I no longer recall how to get to that page to check it out again. </p>

<p>Hope that works for you.</p>
