^That's a relief. The deadline is only a couple of days away and one of my teachers hasn't even started his recommendation yet. I feel doomed...

YES I GOT TO TALK WITH A REP.! KEEP DIALING. I literally dialed about 30 times in a row.

Ju_liaa

Gahh powerbomb do you just dial and press 0?

powerbomb

yes. I redial press 0. voicemail. hang up. redial press zero even before the thing finishes the options. voicemail. hangup. redial. zero. hangup. redial. zero. hangup. redial. zero. "QUESTBRIDGE, MY NAME IS ______"

anyone else having issues faxing the secondary school report?
i faxed it last wednesday and today, and it's the only thing not showing up!

driscol

I don't think you're supposed to be able to see your school profile and srs. My counselor has faxed everything required in already, and QB has verified that. The only thing that's available to me is the transcript and the test scores.

@driscol- it still says "not started," though, and they emailed me saying that it hasn't been processed
how long did it take for them to verify it?

driscol

If your counselor has already faxed the stuff in, then you should be fine. You've given them 48+ hours to work with. If the QB staff does not process it within that time, then it is their fault and they probably will not do anything to hurt your chances of becoming a finalist. My stuff were faxed last tuesday in the morning and when I checked after football practice, they had received everything. Though they probably will take longer seeing how more people are faxing them in now right before the deadline.

The server seems to be slowing down, a LOT, but if you are gently reminding your recommenders about their deadline, you should be fine. What's in your control is to get your part of the application done well and on time, and to politely remind everyone else involved to do their part. Don't freak out if your file doesn't look complete immediately after midnight on Wednesday; presumably the staff at QuestBridge apply some kind of rule of reason about logging things in that may have been delayed by technical (or bureaucratic) issues in transmission, especially if the student's essays are already submitted.

Good luck to all of you. Won't it feel great to be done?

mollybusk

shoot im totally screwed. i'll be sending my stuff with only 36 hours left until the deadline. does anyone think it will make it?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!? also do i fax my act scores sheet i received in the mail a long time ago?

Can I fax the recent september ACT score from my house? I submitted my old April ACT score through my counselor's office but won't be able to schedule a appointment until after the deadline.

tomjonesistheman

Yes! I'm actually kinda pleased with my first two essays after several revisions. Now time to tackle the last essay! And finish those annoying short answer questions =[
I'm planning to submit tomorrow night/Wednesday morning. Do you guys think the site will work?? I mean, I was gonna try to submit like...Wednesday 4am or something. I doubt that many people would be on at that time...right? If not, I have all day to try to click submit. Hopefully I get it in on time. Good luck in the next 50 hours or so guys...

mollybusk

hey guys this is a very serious matter ive been working my butt off for 3 weeks on this and if it doesnt work because my scores/transcript doesnt send in time im screwed. is 36 hours enough time?
and how do i know if letters of rec are finished? will questbridge say anything?

tokenadult

Yes, you can fax student score reports sent to the student into QuestBridge with one of the fax cover sheets. You can download the cover sheet precisely because not all schools have access to all student scores.
