Due to an unprecedented amount of traffic on our website, our site is timing everyone out including us. Therefore, we are going to postpone the Early Bird application time until 6PM EST to give us time to upgrade our server bandwidth and put in place a new, fair way to make the form live simultaneously for everyone at exactly the same time that everyone is mashing the refresh button!
We apologize for the inconvenience, and we’re overwhelmed by your excitement. Good luck everyone!

Nous avons un nombre super élevé de personnes sur notre site en ce moment — autant de monde que notre site s’est planté ! Nous allons donc décaler l’heure du spécial lève tôt à 18 h ce soir. Ceci nous donnera le temps d’augmenter la vitesse de notre serveur et d’adopter une nouvelle procédure pour activer les formulaires au même moment pour tout le monde, et ce exactement au moment de trafic le plus élevé.
Nous sommes tellement ravis de ce niveau d’intérêt record, et nous nous excusons pour cette inconvenience. Bonne chance à vous tous !
