College Prep 2011!

<p>Saveearth, can you copy what your email said? </p>

<p>I’m curious :smiley:
Are there other schools with the summer programs? Are they notifying now?</p>

<p>travel grant status was emailed today</p>

<p>I just wanted to tell everyone that QuestBridge emailed confirmations for the RSVP for the conferences at Yale and Stanford. If you haven’t gotten one, you might want to contact them.</p>

<p>Got mine today. Also got confirmation they are sending over my $700 Apple gift card.</p>

<p>Got a travel grant for the Yale Conference:) !! Now I can definitely make it.</p>

<p>UGH, would really like to find out about Quest for Excellence awards</p>

<p>Got travel grant notification today. This will pay for most of the hotel room.</p>

<p>butters: thank youuu!!! :))) =]
mmcats: there’s only one way you could get them, and thatis through the 10. quest for excellence just gives you a laptop in addition and we don’t find out about that I’ve heard sometimes until jan-feb O.O idk how reliable the source was, but that is what they said.
kimberlyy: thank you very much :slight_smile: yeah, I did the math and 0.2% of applicants get a summer scholarship, 5300 + applied :open_mouth: but yeah, out of the 10, only 1 goes to the Yale one.
drumwriter: thank you :slight_smile: haha i still cannot believe ithaha. and I will write more about what I do/ aboutme etc. later, currently IB/SAT/SAT2/AP is takign over my life lol but i will post my stats soon :slight_smile:
xnap- they called me :))) and then they just sent me an email with liike a few waiver forms / random paperwork. that won’t tell you much tho, sorry :confused: lol </p>

<p>and yeah, I got a $250 one as well for the Yale conference, however, I’m going to have to travel alone and I have no clue what I am going to do about the hotel :frowning: no adult traveling with me… <//3</p>

<p>X3saveearth, I didn’t get the travel grant, so I’m not sure I am going-but if I do we might be able to split a room-I think my mother is going with me. Have you posted on facebook? I am there…</p>

<p>Hmm…I didn’t get the travel grant. I felt really good about it too. I was very excited for the conference but I don’t think I’m going to go now. Congratulations to those who got the grant; you should feel EXTREMELY lucky!</p>

<p>got the grant which will cover flight to the Yale conference! wow!</p>

<p>there’s a facebook page? lol </p>

<p>and xnap- they notified all 10 full scholarship recepients two days agoby phone :)</p>

<p>Darn. Either I missed my call or I didn’t get one. (I’m leaning towards the latter.) LOL</p>

<p>Aw well, now I got to find something else to do over the summer.</p>

<p>i got a call from one of the questbridge reps telling me that i was being considered for one of those summer programs. anyone know when we’ll hear back on our status.</p>

<p>yeah they already called over a week ago</p>

<p>Late but here’s my notification…</p>

<p>Thank you for applying for the QuestBridge College Prep Scholarship. We received a record volume of applications for a limited number of awards this year, and we were impressed by your qualifications. As a result, we have nominated you to be considered for two awards: telementoring with an Amherst College student and an all-expense-paid campus visit. We have also placed your name on the waitlist to receive an invitation to a QuestBridge College Admissions Conference.</p>

<p>When do the waitlist result come? I sent my survey already. But too bad I probably won’t be covered for the flight costs if I do ever get it :(</p>

<p>I’m glad I didn’t get the summer program ones though because of cheer practices most of the summer I won’t be able to go.</p>

<p>Turtle0423, I don’t think they’ve said, but RSVPs are in so I would guess a notification would be coming in soon. </p>

<p>At my school the 2011ers leave on Friday for their “Senior Enrichment” projects… which leaves my class as the oldest in the school. Whaaat? Does anyone else feel like they were freshmen a day ago? We do get to eat in their courtyard after they leave, which is nice.</p>

<p>Liddy I feel ya. Time flies so fast I’m glad I got my AP Testing done. Which is like another touchstone in my high school years in becoming a senior soon! AHHHHH!
now time for SATs in October and November -.-;; and the last SAT 2 test in June… Boy am I screwed!</p>

<p>Hmmmm… Is it 5/28 yet??? I can’t wait for the conference? Does anybody know how it works? Will any admissions representatives from the Questbridge partner colleges be there?</p>

<p>I am headed to Yale for the June conference and then to Penn for the full-paid summer program. QuestBridge is amazing.</p>
