@slothqueen From a previous post, you were a Questbridge match to UChicago back in December. I thought the National College Match with UChicago was a binding admissions program?

262

In the portal, everyone has “You are confirmed to remain on the waiting list”, right?

263

@joecool101 That’s what I have.

264

@joecool101 @Hamotron Where are you seeing that?

265

@MamaBear555 on the main page of the Harvard portal, below “forms.”

266

Which email did you guys send your updates/acknowledgment and thanks for the waitlist? I know this is a very stupid question, but I just want to be 100% sure I’m sending things to the correct email address.

267

@joecool101 Thanks. Yes, says “you are confirmed to remain on the waiting list.”

268

@KreatorDB There should be an option in the portal to upload updates.

269

@Hamotron Thank you. I wonder if they’ve taken any internationals off the waitlist yet!

270

@scholardad like you I’m uncertain how @slothqueen is accepting an offer from Harvard as by her own admission she was matched in December to University of Chicago. Not all of QuestBridge’s partner school are binding but Chicago is.

271

@KreatorDB where are you from? im an intl student as well!

272

Have any international students received calls?

273

@saffysmum and @scholardad http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/questbridge-programs/1842962-matched-to-a-binding-partner-school.html#latest could have something to do with it.

274

Has anyone heard of people getting z list offers yet?

275

@udelise My impression is those come later (like in mid-June).

276

@Monjines I’m international as well and I haven’t gotten any communication or heard of anyone who has. Not even sure when/if they would call, considering the time difference


277

@Hamotron most of them do. Just curious because in years past a couple have randomly come out earlier :slight_smile:

278

@Hamotron if you look further into slothqueen’s posts she says she was matched to University of Chicago. It is not that thread but rather a reply where the information came from.

279

@udelise I really have no idea. I guess we’ll see. :slight_smile:

@saffysmum I know; I just thought that post might give insight into that she might in fact be thinking of trying to break the binding agreement.

Any news today?
