National College Match - 2009-2010

<p>Thanks for helping me out with my question about the Match Agreement forms guys. I e-mailed Questbridge to let them know that I don’t see the word Completed on my page, and am waiting for a response.</p>

<p>Less than TWO DAYS! I hope I can stay sane until then :)</p>

<p>Does anyone know how early we will be notified on Friday? If it’s during school, I’m gonna have to go online while I’m there.</p>

<p>Chinaman, each school has different directions if you’re not a Finalist. Check the Reguar Decision Tables. QB does NOT drop you if you’re not a Finalist. They will still forward your QB application to the partner schools of your choice. There was AT LEAST one person last year who got accepted through QB who was NOT a finalist.</p>

<p>I’m gonna have to try reallyyy hard not to check my phone every 4 seconds on Friday (i get mail on it).</p>

<p>I’m gonna try not to check till 5 XD
Doubt I’ll last that long though…</p>

<p>Does anyone know what time they might notify us?</p>

<p>@ chinaman545: Depends on the school. Check [QuestBridge</a> National College Match - Regular Decision Table](<a href=“http://questbridge.org/students/post_match.html]QuestBridge”>http://questbridge.org/students/post_match.html).</p>

<p>@MattsMomFL:
where did you get that information? On the website?</p>

<p>I think it says that only when students do not choose the national college match are they able to send their QB applications to colleges during regular decision even if they’re not QB finalists.
What if u chose the national college match and were not selected as a finalist?</p>

<p>Did anyone check their Lockers to see if they have the colleges checklist?</p>

<p>@MattsMom</p>

<p>When you say that QB will send the QB App to partner schools of my choice, does that mean everything including the teacher recs, transcript, etc? Or will i have to send those same items again? Let’s say one of the QB partner schools I want to do early decision to is UPenn. Under the regular decision table of requirements, It says that if I’m not a finalist, I can still apply via ED under normal deadlines, Nov. 1. I’m just wanting to know if I have to send the same things I sent to QB to UPenn as well or if QB will send those things to UPenn for me by Nov. 1. Is that what it means when it says that I should request that QB send in my QB application to Penn (located in the top right box under the UPenn regular decision table)?</p>

<p>@pnptruong: Yes, I checked my lockers and I have the colleges checklist even though I think everyone has that.</p>

<p>@chinaman545: You have a really great question. So great in fact and so important that if I were you, I would ask Questbridge about it directly as soon as possible (while they’re not busy with phone calls and stuff right now, you know?) through either email (they’re really good at checking it) or phone.</p>

<p>@pnptruong: everyone has a college checklist thing; we’ve had it since the beginning but most people don’t really notice it until later apparently.</p>

<p>@pnptruong & chinaman, – Check the Regular Decision Table…depends on the school what you have to forward in addition. Purple Turtle posted the link just up above. You can definitely choose match, not get selected finalist and still have QB forward your application to the schools that will take them. This information is all on the Regular Decision Table.</p>

<p>Generally speaking, you will have to have your schools send recs, transcripts and scores to each school whether you’re a finalist or not. What yu sent to QB was for THEIR use to determine finalist status. If you’re not a finalist, you have more time to get the info to them. This is of course in addition to the CSS profile and each school’s supplement.</p>

<p>@Chinaman: Pretty sure you have to re-send everything. The only school’s i’ve seen which don’t require you to resend are Amherst and Brown…</p>

<p>If i were you i’d look at the College- Specific RD list. It had a lot of info there, even for ED.

<p>well if the notifications are anything like last year’s college prep scholarship through questrbidge then it might be around 5:00pm Eastern time. Something like that. All I remember is that I was notified after I got after school. But then again it might be later due to sooo many more people that apply to the college match then the college prep for over the summer.</p>

<p>I was reading last years forum and one person said that, on their locker page, it said that they were a finalist before they got the email. Is it possible that QB posts it on the locker pages before they send emails? Is it even possible for them to post that you are a finalist on the locker page?</p>

<p>^^That may be if the email, through some glitch in the system, was delayed.</p>

<p>QUESTION 1: what if someone is accepted into more than 1 non-binding schools. of course he/she gets into his/her highest ranked…but will the other non-binding schools to which he/she is accepted tranfer the student into their RD pool (this means they’ll know you didn’t rank them first?) </p>

<p>QUESTION 2: for colleges such as Princeton who gets both the QB app and the common app. do they read both (I’m asking specifically about the EC section). Because in my common app I offered different (but better) explanations of my EC in the space provided…does anyone know whether they’ll just look at one? I mean, it is a lot of work to read almost the same thing twice…</p>

<p>Code H, I’m worried about the same thing (getting accepted but then finding out i didn’t rank them first). As for Princeton, I think they will just look at the Common App cause there isn’t any information that’s on the Common App that might not be on the QuestBridge app. Common App is probably just their way of keeping things uniform and standardized. And the Common App gives us more time to write our essays, so they probably expect more refined essays from the CommonApp.</p>

<p>I’m so nervous now. I’m reading the rejection letter QB sent me when I applied for the College prep scholarship last summer. It’s still a pain.</p>

<p>pnptruong: could you post the letter? i’m just curious as to what they might say</p>

<p>immortalix : right. but i would think from the QB apps, they’ll look at the short answers and the 3 essays right? that plus the common app & princeton supplement?..because i don’t know if by chaning my EC ranking/explanation in my common app, whether they’ll compare that to the QB app and wonder why I changed my rankings?</p>
