<p>@ Code H…I assume you’re talking about Stanford? I have most of my first one (needs editing + a conclusion), decent bits of writing to work with for the second, and some ideas for the third, though I haven’t started yet. They’re better than the three QB essays, to be sure xD</p>
<p>lol. I have a question, should we reuse our QB essays even in the supplment material if the prompt is very similar.</p>
<p>because Princeton’s 2nd essay basically asks for a significant experience…</p>
<p>@ Ju_Liaa: for the 2nd essay, did you mention the quote/statement from the prompt in your essay (for the significant experience one). or did you write the important person one?</p>
<p>@ Purple: lol, yea. the thing is i’m having problems with the Why Stanford one…like i’ve never been there and don’t know anyone who goes there…it’s just the idea of a stanford bubble, and also the architectures. :P</p>
<p>@ Code H: Don’t worry, Stanford is within an hour of my house and I’ve barely started it yet. I guess just browse through stanford.edu for a bit?</p>
<p>And it’s fine to reuse the essays, if I remember QB correctly. Just make sure they answer the prompt (maybe edit the QB one a little).</p>
<p>yea cause my 3 QB essays REALLY captured 3 great sides of me…at this point, churning out additional essays on other topics would produce crap…</p>
<p>but for colleges that want supplements…they DO read our QB essays first, right? (please say yes…) cause if that’s the case, then my Princeton supplements are practically ‘done’…because I’ve said all the really important things. NO need to be redundant and waste their time…</p>
<p>Precisely; they read too many essays as it is. I don’t know if they have an SOP for reading applications, but in any case, the essays will be similar anyway.</p>
<p>I know for colleges like Emory, you need to put down “questbridge finalist”</p>
<p>@Julia: So you sent out all of your forms already? Including Common App? How did you check off the box as questbridge finalist so that it’s free? (is that what you do?)</p>
<p>Also: So you sent out your transcripts even though the colleges don’t know who you are yet? LIke, that’s what I’m scared about. Sending scores too… if I send my scores and the colleges will be like “who’s that from” without my application.</p>
<p>lol crystal. i sent out my score reports last week, lol :)</p>
<p>@ crystal91: I just asked Stanford today by email (since my college transcript takes a week or two to process). They said that as long as your full name is on all documents it’s fine. I would check with individual admissions offices, but I would expect that the same goes for most schools.</p>
<p>p.s. is it bad for QB finalists (since we’re obv. low-income) like me who doesn’t have work experience…but lots of volunteer experience. o_O</p>
<p>will colleges be like “if his family is starving, why is he <em>volunteering</em>?!”</p>
<p>o_o</p>
<p>Oh! So I can go ahead and send in transcripts even though I have ALOT of essays left to write! Thanks guys. Geez, kudos to those schools of keeping track of everything. I guess not everybody is like me and have the mindset: “if you’re gonna turn it in, turn it in all at once so I don’t have to pick up after you”</p>
<p>@Crystal: I’ve only sent my transcripts, not anything else. I have everything else except for the Princeton CommonApp completed, just waiting for friday. I’m sure the schools will keep everything for at least a few weeks. Like they cant just throw stuff out…</p>
<p>Were we supposed to write QB at the top of our transcripts too? Cause i didn’t do that…</p>
<p>@Code H: LOL! I never thought about it like that! But nah, I think it shows character. I mean, unless you’re homeless or literally in a famine, I don’t think they’ll put it past you negatively.</p>
<p>@ Code H: I’m kinda wondering the same thing…</p>
<p>@Julia: I don’t think you have to write QB at the top of your transcripts. 
Yeah, I hope they don’t throw stuff out. And since QB doesn’t give admission statuses and stuff, you never know what could happen between Oct 23rd and Dec 1 0_0</p>
<p>@crystal and Purple: you guys, 3 of my 5 QB ECs are volunteering experiences…extensive ones…and my family is pretty low income.</p>
<p>lol, hope colleges won’t be like ‘***’</p>
<p>Anyone contact QB or collegeboard on SAT score sending policy? Like if we wait until Oct 29th to see scores and send, would the scores get there by the Nov 2 deadline?</p>
<p>I -think- the QB website says to send scores “as soon as you receive your finalist status” – but I’m not completely sure.</p>
<p>Edit: The one for Stanford says this: “Request official score reports from the College Board and/or ACT as soon as you are notified of your QuestBridge finalist status on October 23. You should not use the “rush reporting” service.” (<a href=“QuestBridge”>http://questbridge.org/cmp/college_requirements.html</a>)</p>
<p>@Crystal: Thanks! I’m hoping that’s the case!!</p>
<p>@code H: Lolll same here! I have like 1000< solely on a serivce club that i’m pres of this year…and even though i’ve worked wuite i bit, i feel like they’ll be left wondering wht so many hours when i could have been making some $ for the fam XD</p>
<p>This is horrible…</p>
<p>So if I send my scores as soon as I hear of finalist status…can I update them and send a new score report once I receive scores on the 29th?</p>
<p>i second that question…my best sat’s will be this coming october’s…so we better be able to send those for consideration if we’re finalists.</p>
