Trying to submit my college applications via ApplyTexas has been a downright nightmare. I'm an applicant myself, and during this crucial free week when I can submit applications to multiple colleges, I've faced endless frustration. For over five hours, I have attempted to navigate through just a single college application, continuously met with errors and browser crashes.

ApplyTexas needs immediate attention and resolution! This isn't an isolated case; many others have shared the same frustrating experiences. On any given day, the website either lags unbearably or throws back constant 'Application error: a client-side exception has occurred' messages when attempting to proceed with applications. And it's much more than just today; this unreliable performance has been ongoing for a while.

Consider the bigger picture. This platform should serve as a seamless bridge between students and their future education. Instead, it has become an overwhelming obstacle. For those who make it past the initial hurdles, they encounter another infuriating bug: duplicated entries for extracurricular activities and awards. Whenever trying to click next or even hit submit to a college application it loads page with "Application error: a client-side exception has occurred (see the browser console for more information)."

ApplyTexas plays a pivotal role in shaping our educational journeys. It is heartbreaking and anxiety-inducing for students across Texas to face added stress due to technical failures. The potential loss of opportunities for higher education because of recurring technical problems is unacceptable.

We need the relevant authorities and the technical team behind ApplyTexas to prioritize fixing these issues immediately. Students deserve a platform that respects their time and supports their educational aspirations without unnecessary complications.

Let’s come together and demand a swift and effective response from ApplyTexas. By signing this petition, you are standing with countless Texas students striving for a fair opportunity to pursue higher education. Please sign this petition to urge an immediate resolution to these platform problems. We want to extend this free week due to these external issues that was caused by the website.
