University Of California, Cal State University Extend 2022 Application Deadlines After Sites Crash
LOS ANGELES (CBSLA) — The University of California and Cal State University systems both extended their 2022 application deadlines to midnight tonight after their sites crashed, leaving prospective students in the lurch.
Panicking high school seniors took to social media to plead for help, or commiserate with fellow procrastinators, as the UC and CSU application websites got stuck under the onslaught of demand Monday night.

Its heartwarming to know I'm not the only one that procrastinated to submit CSU applications but man I didn't think only 600 people are crashing the website. That's pitiful.
