<p>Before score choice you only sent in the subject test scores you wanted, not every subject test you took. I assume that is the same this year, unless a school specifically states it wants you to send in all your subject tests.</p>
<p>^Yea okay, thanks! (except for Yale, though, they specifically say they want ALL Subject Tests)</p>
<p>Ds’s match agreement (faxed Friday) had a different signature because his GC has been out sick for days, and he didn’t want to chance her not being at school tomorrow and the whole thing potentially being late. So I hope it doesn’t matter.</p>
<p>Whose signature was it then?</p>
<p>YDS, the signature will not matter.</p>
<p>GettoCollege, thank you for stepping up and being the tough ass, voice of reason here.</p>
<p>A counselor but a different one than the one who filled out his counselor form. I figured that was a nit they wouldn’t pick, and it’s been marked received online.</p>
<p>So we aren’t supposed to be able to view our match agreements, am i correct?</p>
<p>Wow the QB staff is wayy too nice. I can’t believe they’re giving us a checklist right on our lockers! </p>
<p>Sweet deal.</p>
<p>Clarification on FA offers when you are offered a College Match:</p>
<p>Some schools guarantee you a certain package.</p>
<p>Some schools offer the same FA package you would receive ordinarily through them. For some higher income recipients, this could include parents having to pay something.</p>
<p>It bugs me to no end that you must really dig into each college’s Match package page to find out this info.</p>
<p>Schools that offer the same FA package include Stanford, Princeton and Yale. There are probably others. </p>
<p>Higher income students: I personally recommend that you do NOT list Emory and Columbia as choices for the Match round. They are binding, but do not guarantee a parental contribution of $0. Emory says its $0 parental contribution is limited to families with incomes under $50,000 and no assets. If you have any home equity that in and off itself would evidently kick you out of that category. If you’re interested in them, I’d recommend waiting for the Regular Decision round. That way you are in a place to compare FA packages.</p>
<p>As you decide which schools to rank, go to this webpage and then click on the schools’ names at the bottom to find out the details for each school. [QuestBridge</a> National College Match - The Scholarship](<a href=“http://www.questbridge.org/students/scholarship.html]QuestBridge”>http://www.questbridge.org/students/scholarship.html) Read the page carefully; don’t just look at the chart. The chart may be a guaranteed package OR it may be a sample of a typical package.</p>
<p>@ everyone: my family is very low income (less than $25,000)…but we have an asset, a home that’s prob worth $500,000 (of course, we bought it when it costed less, and we’re paying alot for mortgage)…does that mean technically my parents have to contribute?</p>
<p>^^I have a similar question.
What would be the value of typical assets for $20,000 annual income?
Schools say those with less than $60,000 and typical assets for that income range will be considered for the Match, but they aren’t clear about what exactly is the typical asset for different income levels.</p>
<p>Youdon’tsay - how long did the receipt of the match agreement form take to appear on the my locker page? </p>
<p>My counselor says he sent mine on Friday, right about this time of the day, but I still don’t see it…!</p>
<p>Different colleges use different ‘formulas’ to access assets. </p>
<p>Home equity = the difference between APPRECIATED home value less mortgage - and YES - colleges use different formulas for that and each college uses their own formula for ‘typical assets for $$ income’ - (each family has different circumstances in the equation) </p>
<p>ie. Do you have 10 siblings, only 1 parent, extra, extra medical expenses, have you JUST arrived in the US? (the redunancy of some posted questions lead me to believe some here cannot read English :rolleyes: )</p>
<p>No way to exactly figure out in advance
No one can asnswer FA questions without a ‘cystal ball’</p>
<p>HEY! - Did I miss something here? RU already accepted?</p>
<p>Take 1 step at a time (TRY)</p>
<p>Sorry for the rant, :o tired of the stress, head hurts from this first round of decisions & paperwork, and it is JUST the beginning! :eek:</p>
<p>11 days to first hurdle - Finalist or No? - Go from there!</p>
<p>I tried “Quest for Excellence” - (long wait to hear :rolleyes:)
It would be sweet - a new computer (Windows 7) and great contacts!
Anyone else ??</p>
<p>Finishing my QfE esssay as we speak (or rather, type). Which one(s) you applying for?</p>
<p>Meanwhile, I don’t have a barcode on my Match Participation Agreement form either, either last night or this morning. I hope I can get to QB today and have it sorted out.</p>
<p>^ 1. Kauffman 2. McKinsey 3. Entrepreneurship</p>
<p>You? </p>
<p>No ‘fit in’ to others - :rolleyes: </p>
<p>Taking really long shot - fingers crossed!</p>
<p>^ Just Law. Too bad there isn’t one for politics =</p>
<p>Closest after that is probably Kauffman, or the technological entrepreneurship one. But they would be a bit of a stretch. Would political science, international relations, and law be tech-related fields? :P</p>
<p>Good luck GetToCollege, and all my other fellow competitors! =)</p>
<p>is QB open today? Does anyone know?</p>
<p>Haven’t been able to get through to them today. No email response either.</p>
<p>^^ @purpleturtle</p>
<p>Yeah! Best of Luck to all!!!</p>
<p>No law for me!
( Can’t see Tech. in “political science, international relations, and law” )
Sounds like Princeton would be a good fit for you - Woody Woo school is the BOMB!</p>
<p>For some reason, my Match Agreement has no bar code. Should I fax it anyway and not freak out or freak out?</p>
