<p>Same here. I don’t know that it’s strictly necessary to fax again.</p>
<p>@Cello: Seriously i didn’t rank Columbia solely because of their stupud app. Threw in Princeton instead, which has a much easier supplement. Also, although my top school is UPenn, i’ll be just as happy getting matched to Wes. I mean any way you look at it, YOU GOT MATCHED. </p>
<p>XD</p>
<p>@Ju_liaa – awesome, i love animal collective (although my favourite band is brand new)! i’m sorry you didn’t get to go; i’ve never seen them live. 
</p>
<p>my top five are:
- brown
- upenn
- rice
- northwestern
- bowdoin</p>
<p>i wish i was cut out for yale or columbia, haha. it was hard to resist picking all the good schools, but reality had to play a part in this as well. </p>
<p>are you guys all starting on your supplements now? i was going to wait until they were going to announce the finalists. i mean, it’d suck if you had it all filled out and then learned that you’re not even a finalist. :(</p>
<p>When filling out the common application for schools who require it, what should I put for “Will you be applying for financial aid?” and “EARLY” or “REGULAR”</p>
<p>^ If you look at Finalist requirements or whatev, I think most tell you to put “REGULAR” on the common app. </p>
<p>so um guys, I plan to ask a different teacher for my regular decisions recs…if I asked a different teacher for Stanford/Princeton Finalist requirements too…would these colleges read all 3 recs? lol. or no?</p>
<p>^^^^^^</p>
<p>powerbomb, check yes to that you will be applying for FA, and 2 years ago, D was told to check RD. I can’t promise that is true stll today, but I would assume so being that so few get matched, so you want to then be put in the RD pool. If you would put down ED, your app would not be considered for RD.</p>
<p>edit: cross posted with TJistheman</p>
<p>When filling out the QB app, I thought Non-custodial meant having no custody over me. Now I just found out that non-custodial doesn’t necessarily mean not having custody over me - it just means living separately! Uh oh. Is this going to cause a lot of problems? I said that he lives separately but indicated he is custodial…</p>
<p>Is anyone having trouble with the Columbia’s official letters of recommendation requirement?
I’m applying to Columbia through the QuestBridge program, and if QuestBridge does not work for me, I’ll still apply ED to Columbia.
I’ve just noticed that there’s a problem with this plan. The QuestBridge website requires that once I’m selected as a finalist, I will have to fill in Columbia part 1 and 2, and submit the official letters of recommendation under the Regular plan:</p>
<p>[College</a> Match Program: Columbia Requirements](<a href=“QuestBridge”>http://questbridge.org/cmp/college_reqs/columbia.html)</p>
<p>The official Columbia application asks me to indicate my application plan before giving the recommendation forms to the teachers.
Because our fall break will be from Monday, October 26th to Friday, October 30th, I think it’s better if I have my teachers send recommendations to Columbia before Friday, October 23rd. However, I wont know anything about my application plan until October 23rd, when the QuestBridge’s results come out; therefore, it’s impossible for me to send the recommendations before October 23rd to meet the ED deadline.
Should I choose ED plan for the recommendation forms and have my teachers send them as early as possible to meet the ED deadline (which is also a deadline for QB finalist.)? If I do this, what will happen if I’m selected as a QB finalist? (Do I still have to check in the Regular Decision box as instructed on the QB website?)</p>
<p>@pnp: Seems to me like you have some emailing/ calling to do for Columbia…to the Columbia admins office.</p>
<p>powerbomb, they will probably just reject your waiver.</p>
<p>applicannot - reject my waiver? what does that mean?</p>
<p>another question - If my dad was self-employed in 2008, but no longer is in 2009, what should I put on the CSS Profile?? Do I need to fill out the Business/Farm Supplement Profile also?</p>
<p>sorry random question: when and how do we learn if we’re finalists?</p>
<p>oh never mind i found it</p>
<p>Thanks GA2012MOM! It’s so helpful to have such experienced and helpful people hanging around in this thread!</p>
<p>Where do we get our Yale ID #?? (It requires one on the Cover sheet used for faxing financial documents)</p>
<p>I was wondering the same thing, powerbomb. Answer?</p>
<p>I just found this here: </p>
<p>The following Financial Aid Documents should be submitted by fax to 203-777-6100. Please write your full name, your Yale Student ID Number (if you rank Yale, you will receive this via email after Finalists are announced), and “QuestBridge” on all pages.</p>

<p>If I want to send in supplement recommenations, which form should I use? Just a letterhead? is there a specific form used for supp. recs?</p>
<p>ok, quick question. Is anyone else looking at northwestern? Because i tried to look at the supplement you’re supposed to submit if you’re a finalist, but the link keeps coming up as damaged. </p>
<p>Has anyone been able to successfully access this supplement? If not, do you know if it’s the same one that’s on the common app?</p>
