National College Match - 2009-2010

<p>

</p>

<p>Fully agreed.</p>

<p>@youdon’tsay: Good luck to you too!! Come back when you can and let us know how things turn out :)</p>

<p>@cellochick: I had to tell them something when they asked why i kept stalking my counselor and carrying around a huge folder of paperwork lolz…totally unavoidable. It’s gonna suck if everyone keeps asking and then i don’t make it though T_T</p>

<p>…buuttt let’s think positive XD</p>

<p>Hey guys. Finalist statuses coming out tomorrow! Can’t wait!
I’m just honestly not even thinking about it. It’s not in my character to not be freaking out about this, but my homework levels and lack of sleep have drained me recently. I’ll get the email when I get the email.
Good luck to everyone here!</p>

<p>Has anyone started filling out supplements? I have not. For Columbia you can’t even fill it out until you’ve submitted a payment or a waiver.</p>

<p>I have these moments in class where I’m thinking about nothing in particular and then it hits me: all will be revealed tomorrow and then I get completely distracted. I’m going to try not to think about it but I know I’m going to be thinking about checking my email from midnight on. Yay; no sleep tonight or tomorrow for that matter…</p>

<p>GOOD LUCK EVERYONE! I saw a shooting star this morning and I hope that’s a good sign!!</p>

<p>@spiritual witch: SAME! It’s so hard not to let my mind digress onto QB…it’s obsessing my mind…I’m so hopeful, I just don’t want to be disappointed. Good luck to all!</p>

<p>Guys, is it gonna be @ 5PM or 5AM?</p>

<p>Thanks!!</p>

<p>@tuangpi : I read the posts from several pages ago and someone said the emails may come around 5PM Eastern Time. </p>

<p>Ah, I don’t know how I’m going to be able to wait…</p>

<p>I heard around 8pm but is this eastern time or pacific or what?</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure that’s Eastern Time. What most people are basically saying is that the emails usually start coming around 5PM Eastern Time. But because Questbridge has thousands of applicants, you should expect your email to come later. </p>

<p>As for me, I’ll most likely be checking in every minute!</p>

<p>I’m a junior who plans to apply to questbridge next year and I’m kind of confused about the requirement that you can’t apply early decision/action to any other schools. The instate schools I am going to apply to don’t have EA or ED, they just have multiple deadlines. One has November and January deadlines, the other has October, December, and February deadlines. You have to apply by November for both of these schools to be considered for merit aid. Am I not allowed to apply to the earlier deadlines?</p>

<p>^^I’m applying in state to my schools with november deadlines for scholarship. It’s not early action/early decision. It’s something called “rolling decision” or something like that. I think it’s fine. </p>

<p>Otherwise, I would have put all my eggs in one basket! I have to have some back door, lol.</p>

<p>OMG!! BIG NEWS!! I JUST FOUND OUT SOMETHING ABOUT STANFORD!</p>

<p>So apparently, Stanford would most likely never read your Questbridge application. That’s why it asks for common app. Why? Because Questbridge application is in a PDF format that runs veryyyy slowly on their computer. </p>

<p>Oh, the QB app is there, but will they read it? Probably not.</p>

<p>That’s why this kinda sucks.</p>

<p>last year my D was notified at 7pm (she was a semi-finalist).</p>

<p>@ crystal- how did you clarify it as rolling admissions? I’ve gotten so many “director’s choice” or “president’s choice” free applications from my safety schools…But I might miss applying b/c of QB…it doesn’t say anything whether its EA,ED or rolling admissions. BTW what schools did u apply to for rolling?</p>

<p>It’s around 5 p.m. Pacific time, but varies. It takes them quite awhile to get everyone notified so often it is later.</p>

<p>AHHH! my MIT interviewer just contacted me. he wants to interview me TOMORROW. i’m freaking out…</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>This also applies to Columbia(I’ve verified by calling them). And I guess Princeton works in the same way, too.</p>

<p>wait guys…they are giving us a week after Finalist notification to send in additional information including transcripts from college classes and high school, test score reports, teacher recommendations? if my teachers mail their letters in on Monday, would it reach the colleges by the 2nd?</p>

<p>^^wait where did you read that?? so if they don’t read the application, they would only consider the Common App and supplements? And the fact that you are a “Questbridge Finalist” ?</p>

<p>^^^^</p>

<p>I guess it’s a good thing that Princeton isn’t in my top 4 then XD </p>

<p>I think that the QB app is really gonna help me out in some ways…</p>

<p>When they say Nov. 2, do they mean postmarked or at the school by that date?</p>
