National College Match - 2009-2010

<p>

</p>

<p>My pleasure :))</p>

<p>code h: i guess the best thing to do would be to email princeton and ask them directly</p>

<p>This is my College Prep Scholarship letter that they sent me, in case anyone was interested. Does getting nominated for the College Prep Scholarship increase the chances of getting the College Match Scholarship?</p>

<p>Dear xxxxxxx, </p>

<p>Thank you for applying for the QuestBridge College Prep Scholarship. This year, we received a record volume of applications for a limited number of awards, and your qualifications distinguished you as high-achieving. </p>

<p>As a result, we have nominated you to be considered for an all-expense-paid campus visit to one of our partner colleges. Campus visits offer an opportunity to take a guided tour, sit in on classes, stay in a dormitory, and meet students who may be future classmates.

<p>Kind regards, </p>

<p>Somebody has said that my locker page sometimes displays finalist notification? Is it like in RED BOLD across the page, or do I have to look for it?</p>

<p>I think I read somewhere on last year’s QB forum on CC that this one girl was a College Prep Scholar nominee but she didn’t make finalist. But from what I got out of the response, it was highly unusual that it turned out like that. </p>

<p>Powerbomb: It’s probably at the tippy top. I don’t think it’s red bold because what if you’re not a finalist…? That’d be very dejecting.</p>

<p>Two years ago it was in large BOLD letters smack dab in the middle of the page.</p>

<p>I’ve been wondering about Princeton University’s teacher recommendation requirements. Are teachers required to submit new letters, or will QuestBridge recommendations suffice? If new letters are required, should those be mailed directly to the campus?</p>

<p>If I am a finalist and I ranked Princeton and Stanford, how do i send in the common apps? do they want me to just submit the common app with the teacher recs online or do i have to print them all out and mail it to the colleges directly?</p>

<p>so…MIT is going to make their decision for me solely based on the QB app??? wth??? nothign else? =[</p>

<p>tomjonesistheman, what more do you want? In terms of raw space allotted, the QuestBridge application has more room than the MIT application.</p>

<p>oh i just thought I could have made the QB essays just a teeny bit better…lol</p>

<p>Heh, I won’t be getting my class rank til Tuesday at the latest. And the School Profile isn’t even updated yet. The lady who is supposed to do that is swamped and lagging.</p>

<p>ughhhh one more day O_o i think im going to try and pretend i don’t know anything is going on tomorrow…i think that’s the only way im going to be able to stand the wait:)</p>

<p>^^^</p>

<p>My plans exactly! XD
I’m gonna ask my friends to not even mention QB until i sign into MyLocker at 5…</p>

<p>does anyone know exactly what time we will be notified tomorrow because I couldn’t find it on the QB website</p>

<p>idk they shoot for 5:00 i think, but last year people were getting emails wayyyyy later than that, so i wouldn’t plan on getting it by then:P</p>

<p>haha yeah ju_liaa, i haven’t really told my friends all that much about QB, so they <em>hopefully</em> wont mention it…but watch, this’ll be the one time they remember im doing it and i’ll be hearing, “did you get it??!” ALL DAY ;)</p>

<p>What happens if 'm a finalist and I don’t submit the college-specific requirements for some but not all colleges i ranked?</p>

<p>I was wondering the same thing …</p>

<p>The colleges that you did not complete the requirements will not consider you.</p>

<p>I have to leave town unexpectedly so I probably won’t be online tomorrow when all the good news starts rolling in (ever the optimist!). Good luck to everyone. I can’t help but feel that the cc crowd stands a better-than-average chance of being named finalists. Fingers and toes crossed for everyone. :)</p>
