<p>^It’s likely very very small.</p>
<p>I think something like only 10% of the finalists get matched or something.</p>
<p>@Georgie841, meh, I wouldn’t mind either way. I learned a lot from the experience and Questbridge got me started on my essays early. Since the admit rate for finalists is pretty low anyway, I don’t have very high expectations for anything.</p>
<p>I know me too especially since my ACT score was horrible compared to everyone else but I would like to know either way. I keep thinking about it. Even if I don’t get it, at least I will be able to focus on other colleges and scholarships.</p>
<p>Are most of you guys interviewing for MIT?</p>
<p>Well, on the YALE QB FAQ site, it said they matched with 17 students…that seems VERY small to me (which is why I questioned the worth of going through the QB process before) I don’t know how many of the finalists ranked Yale, though.</p>
<p>Quick question,</p>
<p>If my father is self-employed, what form do I need to send for the proof of income?
(My dad is a minister, there is no physical business)</p>
<p>Thanks :)</p>
<p>Some schools require the business/ farm supplement for self-employed.(even if just one person and no business) along with any 1099’s and last year’s tax return with the CSS profile</p>
<p>@nameofthegame</p>
<p>Thanks for the quick reply
I am in process of finishing out the Business/Farm supplement and already have last year’s tax return. I don’t think my dad has 1099’s.</p>
<p>Rice wants “Copies of your parents’ recent paystubs or other verification of current year
income” with Business Supple and copies of 2008 Tax Return.</p>
<p>What do I need to submit? Do I need to submit the extra information at all?</p>

<p>Your dad has tax forms. And if the church has a separate treasurer, there will be forms recording payments to him that the church treasurer has to fill out.</p>
<p>@ #2685: </p>
<p>I think most of last year’s QB finalists ranked one or more of the nonbinding colleges–why not? Yale is just plain hard to get into, but many students think it is worth applying to.</p>
<p>@tokenadult</p>
<p>Yes, he has tax forms, but I don’t believe we have a treasurer. (It’s a really small church)</p>
<p>As for the teacher recommendations on the common application, I’m confused. Do all the schools have different teacher recommendations? I know for the counselor form, you select “counselor” and it fills in the rest for you, so the counselor would probably have to do one application. But for the teachers, can I use the same teacher for all of my forms? And, how would I do a “supplementary recommendation” like from a professor from an institute or something? Thanks.</p>
<p>@MOM: Hey just wondering again about interviews…why you think they wont do anything. Becuse i’m trying pretty hard right now to score an interview at one od my ranked schools…</p>
<p>^^^^^
Ju-liaa, it’s not that they won’t have ANY weight, it is just that they know most applicants will not have had them. Also, interviews are generally the least important factor in admissions. As I stated before, it is more to weed out who they don’t want…at least that is what I and D have heard.</p>
<p>What extra forms are you referring to? Seems like Rice states exactly what they want and seems like you have that(tax forms, CSS profile, Business supplement and pay stubs) all ready to go.</p>
<p>@MOM: Thanks! I was just wondering what you meant before, but i get it now.</p>
<p>DS has been accepted to his safety school with scholarships! And he actually really likes it.</p>
<p>Same question as ExcitedG. Ds is confused about what happens with teachers recs. His school has Naviance, so the teachers can see where he’s applying, but does every school even require them and don’t they just send a generic letter? He doesn’t want teachers to go to lots of extra work if he’s not even a finalist, because if he’s not, he’ll only go RD for one of the three schools he ranked.</p>

<p>The common app has a form for teachers to fill out. You can print it out and give it to your teacher with a self addressed stamped envelope. It is the same for any college. As for supp. recs., they can be any format and mailed without a form directly to the college by the person writing the letter. Again, give them self addressed stamped envelopes. Just make sure the writer indicates your full name and date of birth somewhere in their reference so the letter can be placed in the proper file.</p>
<p>Oh, if your school uses the Naviance online system, ask the teacher if they are submitting references online. Every teacher can choose to submit hard copy or online regardless of what other teachers do, but how they submit for one student they have to submit for all of their students. No mixing some hard copy references with some online. If teacher chooses online, you register her as your reference. Not sure if teacher automatically gets notification for any schools you send your common app to or if they just submit the letter and it automatically gets sent with any common app sent. Go on the common application web page and everything is explained under guidance /teacher information section</p>

<p>He doesn’t have pay stubs. I don’t know what to replace it with</p>
<p>^^^^^^^^</p>
<p>I didn’t have pay stubs either. I simply sent in my tax forms, including the Business/Farm supplement, and I haven’t had any problems. If any individual school needs anything else, I’m sure they will ask.</p>
