National College Match - 2009-2010

<p>I’m still wondering… one person answered, but I’m not sure how accurate it is…</p>

<p>Not all of the schools require a common application or supplement, right? I was looking through the schools I matched and none ask for the common app in addition to QB.</p>

<p>This is where I get really confused. Am I allowed to apply RD to other colleges right now? I finished some of the applications but have hesitated to send them in because I’m not sure if it’s allowed. The website confused me. I know I cannot apply ED/EA, but what about priority? I honestly don’t even know what a priority app is, but a few colleges have sent me them. This is what I understand so far. Correct me if I’m wrong.</p>

<p>I applied to QB ED (kind of).
I can apply to other schools RD as well, but not EA/ED. (Priority?)
If I become a finalist, I can leave my RD apps intact.
If I become matched, I have to withdraw all other applications.</p>

<p>What if I receive a decision from a school I apply to RD before I know about QB’s final results? Do I just not accept their offer until I do know?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>do we fill out CSS profile for 2009-10 or 2010-2011???</p>

<p>2010-2011 paki 786.</p>

<p>Ok guys I just submitted my CSS Profile for 2010-2011 for all 12 schools that accept it (Princeton does not). $201. This was the right thing to do right?</p>

<p>^ Yeah!
Sounds good to me! Best to get as much stuff finished as possible…</p>

<p>^Wait, shouldnt we wait until we know the FINALIST status to submit CSS profile?</p>

<p>^
Why wait?
Has to be sent in to colleges anyway…
Even If you’re NOT QB Finalist - aren’t you going to apply (Reg.Dec.) to those schools ??</p>

<p>I might not apply Regular Decision…so, I am just going to complete the CSS profile and wait until the 23rd. </p>

<p>Can I still qualify for fee waiver if I just complete the PROFILE but not send to any colleges?</p>

<p>^ You only pay when you send!!!</p>

<p>@Paki786: Yeah you can qualify because you don’t find out about the waiver until late October. I’m doing the same thing you’re doing, completing it now and then sending it after the 23rd. Can’t count your chickens before they hatch…</p>

<p>^Oh - that’s for the QB Fee Waiver…you have to apply for that.</p>

<p>I was thinking about the ‘automatic’ Fee Waiver from College Board for 6 schools @$105 - You will find out if you ‘qualify’ at the end of the form.
I didn’t ‘qulaify’ so I didn’t bother with the QB Fee Waiver App- not enough QB$$ for everyone - so will leave it for someone more needy!</p>

<p>Yea, $201 is a lot =[ and I didn’t get a fee waiver from Collegeboard.
Just one question- my family income is significantly higher just in 2008 (which sucks because both Questbridge and CSS Profile want info from that year mainly), but will decrease back to the original in 2009…colleges would take this into account right? I explained my situation in the CSS Profile (but not for QB) How would I send additional info once 2009 tax forms come out?</p>

<p>^ Should show up in the FAFSA </p>

<p>I think you (can) wait to send info after the 1st of Jan 2010<br>
(for 2009 Taxes)?</p>

<p>Assuming Reg. Decision (being realistic here -)
After all your acceptances and FA packages are in (March??) you can compare and ask for colleges to ‘match’?</p>

<p>Alright thanks man =]
I was just getting a little nervous cause my mom kept annoying me cause she thought I screwed up on the CSS Profile or something but I didn’t…</p>

<p>Can I submit the CSS Profile twice? Or if I submit now, do I need to include schools that I will be applying RD too as well? What about the common app? Do I need to fill out the supplements for ALL of the schools that I might be applying RD to as well? Or can I fill those out after I hear about QB and then submit the schools I’m not ranking/applying to via QB afterwards? Or do I have to do it all at once?</p>

<p>Just checking a detail here. The Match Participation Agreement fax cover sheet mentions a bar code, but as that document displayed on our computer after my son submitting his college rankings, we don’t see a bar code on that document. His QuestBridge locker current shows his college match rankings as “completed,” and that opened up the link for downloading the fax cover sheet, but we don’t see a bar code on the form. I’m just printing it out now as I type this, and [checking paper coming out of printer] I don’t see a bar code on it as it prints out either. Do you see a bar code on your Match Participation Agreement fax cover sheet?</p>

<p>There was a bar code on my match agreement form thing. They have to have it to make sure all your stuff matches. It’s on the very top of the first page on the form. Maybe you clicked on the wrong thing?</p>

<p>Yea, there should be a bar code at the top of the cover sheet (1st page)</p>

<p>Any way to forward your QB app for early decision? Incase I don’t accepted as a finalist >_></p>

<p>

Yea dude I had this same question but no one answered mine. But after emailing QB and Common App, I decided to submit the CSS Profile to ALL colleges at once including Regular Decision (I think this is both easier and more efficient- if you submit some now and some later, you’ll have to update information and stuff…and I just think it’s better to just finish it all). For Common App, you submit to each school separately, so you can submit the supplements to the schools you Matched by November 2nd, then submit the rest later for Regular Decision.</p>
