<p>Gah this is turning into such a fun forum.
I’m actually perplexed about my own tax forms.
I somehow got that my mom only payed $2 grand in taxes, but that can’t possibly be right.
And like that’s a problem because the family contribution estimators that I tried told me that I would have some expected parental input, which doesn’t make sense.
Great.</p>
<p>Anyone else fill out FAFSA YET?</p>
<p>My mom paid $0 in taxes.</p>
<p>Wait, you’re supposed to fill out FAFSA?? That’s not required for the match right? (I didn’t see any of it on the requirement list) I thought FAFSA wasn’t available until January. If it is available, where do you fill it out? Thanks for the help, guys.</p>
<p>hey guys…to clarify what I said before…I’m missing out on ED schools b/c of questbridge because my guidance office has to be “big stupidheads” and have all ED applications or EA ones by Oct. 13th…even thought the deadline is NOv. 2 sooooo stupid, anyone else’s guidance like that? And the RD is due Nov. 15th at my high school</p>
<p>guys, how do I send college transcripts to individual colleges for Finalist status?
is it better to go to college and send automatically? or ask counselor to send for me</p>
<p>I think getting the college to send an official one directly to the school should be fine. Either way, it’s directly from the school, to the school. I’m calling Stanford tomorrow, though, just to make sure.</p>
<p>^Ok thanks! Yea, that’s what I was gonna do, just wanted to make sure that I didn’t have to send everything through high school counselor. tell me what stanford says though.</p>
<p>xctf, did you explain to your guidance office about QuestBridge? Or submit the work, but ask them not to send it until after October 23rd? Or go ahead and have it submitted, but retract your applications if you are a finalist?</p>
<p>So what time do finalist announcements come out exactly?</p>
<p>Woot! 100th post :D</p>
<p>@ Obstinate: I think I remember someone posting here that QB said the email could be delayed by a few hours, so there’s probably not a specific time.</p>
<p>@ tomjonesistheman: Stanford just emailed back saying that it’s fine to mail them directly, “as long as your full name appears on all documents.”</p>
<p>@Crystal91: FAFSA is not necessary for the match process. It’s sorta impossible seeing as it doesn’t come out until January; thank god for that too otherwise I would have way too many things to fill out.</p>
<p>@Spiritualwitch: Thanks a bunch!</p>
<p>But yeah @applicannot: I told me guidance counselor to not send anything until the 23rd, in which I told him to prepare for a mass sendout, lol. There are many reasons…first of all, most colleges that I ranked need you to put like “questbridge finalist” on them and since I don’t know yet, I can’t exactly put that down yet. Secondly, if you’re a finalist, you get your common app stuff sent in free. I believe you have to check off a box or something. Thirdly, SO NOT DONE YET!! GAHHH!!</p>
<p>ahh. guys! i still have to write 3 more supplemental short essays…am i procrastinating? :(</p>
<p>@YUUUSSS!! All transcripts sent out today, all financial stuff done and separated by school (except for the Swat FA app) and everything else is ready to go! Just need to finish my Princeton essays…</p>
<p>PRAYING TO THE GODS THAT I’M A FINALIST
<em>does anxious dance</em></p>
<p>crystal, what do you mean “most colleges that I ranked need you to put ‘questbridge finalist’ on them” ?</p>
<p>Where do I need to say “Questbridge Finalist” if I am one?</p>
<p>@Tom: I think she means on all of the financial forms</p>
<p>but my mom and i are sending that stuff not my counselor, so i can just write it myself and send ASAP after i find out.</p>
<p>@Ju_liaa -
Wow! You’re off the P-R-O-C-R-A-S-T-I-N-A-T- E List.</p>
<p>and I took your place - :o</p>
<p>I ran out of steam and still have essays to do to be ‘ready to GO’ </p>
<p><“PRAYING TO THE GODS THAT I’M A FINALIST” >
Me too -</p>
<p><<em>does anxious dance</em>><br>
May I have that dance with you? ;)</p>
<p>4 days :0; <em>crosses fingers and waits…and waits</em> Can you believe times flown by this fast?</p>
<p>All my QB essays are done, it’s just onto RD essays. And I haven’t written in essay in a month. I’m definitely losing steam. The gigantic pile of paper work is getting to me. I should hire a secretary. And it’s already cost me almost $65 in stamps, ink, envelopes, and computer paper.</p>
