Is anyone able to access their admission web site? I haven't submitted my application..

https://gradapply.mit.edu/physics/apply ... ics/apply/

Numerous other applications under the domain gradapply.mit.edu are inaccessible to me. I will probably wait until 5pm est before sending their admission office an email about this.

12:34 pm est. Log in page loaded after several minutes of waiting. Attempting to log in.
12:42 pm est. Awfully slow loading. I was surprised to find that I successfully uploaded a 1.2 MB pdf to the application...
2:28 pm est. Application website went back up.

Which gave a wrong conclusion yesterday when I used similar services. I suspect these services only check for responses from the server redirected by the domain without considering actual usability and loading time.
