<p>2 years ago you opened My Locker and it had FINALIST written in big letters.</p>
<p>QB 2008 thread -
Everyone got E-mail notification —Finalist or Not!
Be aware, some servers were delayed :eek:</p>
<p>AAH this is so stressful T_T i want to be a finalist so bad…</p>
<p>Yes, GetToCollege is correct, last year was an e-mail either way. I think it was much more dramatic 
2 years ago. I checked back, and you got an e-mail that told you to check your locker, then found out in big letters.</p>
<p>Don’t forget to check your spam folders as well, as some applicants found their e-mails there instead of their inbox.</p>
<p>Good Luck All.</p>
<p>So guys…is it correct that Stanford and Princeton are going to read BOTH the Common App essays+supplement AND the Questbridge application? I know they require the Common App and supplements as well, but does this mean they read both applications? I would like to revise my QB autobio a little and use it for the Common App personal statement, but would they read both? Or else there would be no point in submitting the Common App…</p>
<p>If you have ranked college and become a finalist on the 23rd, are you still allowed to withdraw from the National College Match Program and go Early Decision at another school?</p>
<p>PathoftheWind, I would think so. If you withdraw from QB, then you have nothing to do with them. </p>
<p>One question - On the left side of MY LOCKER page, under “announcements” it still says I must submit my application by september 30th. Is this normal? Is this “announcement” only appearing b/c my application did not get through? Under Application Status right above “announcements” however, it says COMPLETED.</p>
<p>I have a question.</p>
<p>If you are not chosen as a finalist, does it mean that you cannot participate in Regular Decision Round either?</p>
<p>Because some colleges allow non-finalists to apply for early decision using QuestBridge, but today I got an email from QuestBridge telling me that they do not forward nonfinalists’ applications for early decision.</p>
<p>So if unfortunately if you are not chosen as a finalist your QuestBridge application can be used neither for Early nor for Regular decision right?</p>
<p>or…Perhaps I’m wrong…</p>
<p>I know the essays questions for common apps and QuestBridge are the same, which means it’s possible to recycle them…but what about the rec and school report? everything has to be redone again?</p>
<p>to powerbomb, I don’t have anything that says “announcement” tho…It only shows application status and says “completed and SUBMITTED”</p>
<p>Probably you would want to double check with QuestBridge…
It will be scary if it’s not successfully submitted…</p>
<p>I don’t have an announcement thing either and mine says “Completed and Submitted”.</p>
<p>Mine says “completed and submitted” also :/</p>
<p>Question: How do we know if we got a fee waiver from QB?/ Does it take long for them to evaluate your request? I submitted mine this morning.</p>
<p>I was just wondering, does anyone know the difference between the Penn Supplement to the QuestBridge Application and the Common App Supplement? Are there additional essays?</p>
<p>So umm can my teachers just use the exact same Questbridge application for the Common App? I still don’t see why they have to submit recs twice…</p>
<p>@raechelli: The Penn supplement for QB has no essays. A link to it is on their college specific requirements.</p>
<p>ohh! Thank you Ju_liaa! I saw the supplement, but I wasn’t sure if there was another page after that…but I guess that wouldn’t make sense since we’re supposed to work on our apps before we’re notified of finalist/nonfinalist status. Thanks again.</p>
<p>I noted your D is in second year QB scholar.
Tell me what you had to do for new school year to keep her on the roll.
GPA required, mandatory workshops etc for her? What happen if the kid can not meet the requirement? take longer to graduate? Will they gonna owe what were given to them if one had to leave school after all? what if one wants to transfer to other school or change intended major?
In other words, is there a catch?</p>
<p>I know that parents aren’t done-done yet. How big of a pile of new set of paperworks for the new school year? what if your $ situation changed, how much gain would be allowed, or basically a go for four years no matter what?</p>
<p>There aren’t much info about what happened after matched, it is hard to believe that every past match worked out for four years trouble free.</p>
<p>bears and dogs, well to start with I can only of course speak for my D’s school and what she has encountered since the match. Other schools may be different, I’m not sure. D was never given a GPA minimum to keep up with to maintain her standing. It is not like some scholarships that would require a 3.5 or whatever. I can only assume she has to maintain the same academic standards set for all students at her college, but she did very well her Freshman year so no worries there. No mandatory workshops (not even sure what those are???) and as far as taking longer to graduate or transfer, I have no clue but I’m 99% sure that would not occur in our case. I can only assume if a QB match scholar would want to transfer to another school, they would certainly not owe the original match school money, because they didn’t sign any 4-year binding contract. I am just assuming of course, as it has never crossed my mind.</p>
<p>As far as the renewal paperwork, I did have to renew my FAFSA (got selected for verification so had to submit tax forms) and CSS profile. FAFSA was of course necessary for the Pell Grant. My income actually went down, 
so I’m not sure what would be done in case of increase of any amount. </p>
<p>I just re-read your post, and I’m not sure what you mean about changing schools and/or major? Are you talking within the same University? If so, sorry again that I would be clueless as D is at a LAC (still hasn’t officially declared a major) so that would not be applicable to her situation.</p>
<p>I’m sure you may be correct about all matches being trouble free, but I would think that any potential situations you brought up would be handled by the College or University the same as they would with any other student. </p>
<p>Sorry I don’t have any more insight, but none of those things ever crossed my mind.</p>
<p>anyone know what the Regular Decision acceptance rate to MIT, Stanford, Princeton is for Questbridge Finalists? I can’t find the statistics anywhere.</p>
<p>So does anybody else’s application still say completed n the edit link is alive? I mean, it’s past the extension deadline…</p>
<p>Thanks, GA mom. I mean, that’s why they matched her. If the kid can’t do the work or not sure what s/he wants to do at which college, no chance getting in through match round.
I’d worry though, if something happens after awhile, i.e. I am Charlotte Simons or the kid in the Gatekeepers, how much of support they’d get. If same as every other students, that doesn’t mean much for the kid whom gone through huge culture gap.</p>
