yea, i can't contact them. what do i have to do to make them take my call?

i read through this thread and saw that a lot of people said it was okay to fax unofficial score reports, found online, from home.

what did you guys put on the cover sheet, for name, phone number, and e-mail, then, because it said it was supposed to be faxed from a counselor? With that, it is supposed to say your GC's info.

so, if you sent it from home, what did you put?

Obstinate

I'd like to know too!

mia12

and what did you guys write for additional info?

i think i should add something, but I just don't know what! lol

i think i'm missing/forgetting something...

^I talked about my hobbies.

My counselor's email on the faxed cover sheet is different from the one matched to her account..hmm I hope that is alright. And she faxed the School Profile twice! I don't know why...would this be okay? Or should I contact Questbridge.

goodness, essay#2 is just KILLING me. I've been staring at an empty word document for the past hour and a half. I have so many ideas about what to write for this and I just can't decide what I want to write about! Ughhhhh.

sunflower28

Yeah, and I'm with mia, I feel like I should write something down for additional info but I don't know what would be good to write.

Did anybody notice the lengths of the sample essays they put up?
The two short answers are way below 500 words and the second personal statement is over 1000 words...

mia12

sunflower: haha, i'm stuck on the first one. once i start writing, i realize i'm out of stuff to say by 100 words!

so two issues:

-when you send your scores by yourself, what info do you put?

AND

-what did you write for additional info?

tomjones: thanks for the tip about hobbies, but all of mine are basically covered in the EC's section and short answers

(btw, my counselor still hasn't started my rec. S***!)

Ju_liaa: I just called with the 888# and it worked.

This is nerve-racking. I think I'm pulling an all-nighter tonight and missing school tomorrow.

Exactly how I feel man, exactly how I feel.

Yea...and the tone of the essays was weird...like my stories are WEAK compared to them (not really emotional or anything, just solid).

I emailed my counselor a screenshot from the CollegeBoard website, and he printed it and faxed it with the stuff he had to fax. For my additional information, I wrote about how my schedule got so messed up my senior year - like how I ended up with Creative Writing instead of a real English (have no fear! this is my FIFTH English credit, the others are for real) and how I don't have a fourth year of a language.

DS wrote about a couple of transcript idiosyncracies that aren't well-explained by the transcript and HS profile.

@collegefall: I SWEAR TO GOD I'M GONNA KILL SOMEONE. I just called the 888 # and no one got it! How is it that you called less than 20 minutes ago and they picked up?! This was my FIFTH call today >_<

Do they expect us to fly ourselves all the way down to Cali to ask for assistance personally?

Did you try calling (gasp) more than once in a row? It's two days before applications are due. They are VERY busy.
