National College Match - 2009-2010

<p>good luck everyone!</p>

<p>I’m sitting here at 7:08 in the morning and I’m still disappointed that there was no email in my inbox…hour one of the most distracting day of my life…yay :D</p>

<p>GOOD LUCK EVERYONE AND HOPEFULLY WE’LL ALL BE BACK LATER WITH SOME REALLY GOOD NEWS!!</p>

<p>I have a question. I understand that we can send/report either ACT or SAT for most schools. I have a dilemma. My ACT score is at the ballpark of the 50%. But, my SAT scores are way off. So, do you think it is better for me to just send/report my ACT score?</p>

<p>Thanks!!</p>

<p>Just the ACT, and seriously, there was no need to post this same question in 13 different threads!!!</p>

<p>I have a question about the November 2nd deadline…
As an international applicant, I can only go to Princeton, Pomona, and Yale.
Especially for Princeton, they want a whole Common App…does that mean that if I happen to be a finalist, I would have to finish the common app application by Nov 2???</p>

<p>Hi, all. The news about Princeton and Stanford not reading our QB applications and only using the Common App + supplements really depress me. Are we totally positive about this? I want to contact their Admissions Office, but I don’t want to do it until I am notified of the Finalist results. </p>

<p>Good luck, everyone! :)</p>

<p>tuangpi - my daughter has exactly this issue and we just used ACT. Btw, be careful your school doesnt put ALL of your test scores on your transcript. We noticed this issue after they sent her transcript to QB. We had to delete it and have the school re-send the transcript minus the SAT scores. We are also watching them like a hawk with transcripts being sent to each college…</p>

<p>bluj126, yes. And whatever supplements they need. The Princeton one isn’t too bad, though, and you can reuse your essays Princeton says (in fact, I think we’ve established here that Princeton places more weight, if not all on Common App + supplements than on our QB app). As for Yale, you don’t need the Common App. They only use your QB app. But I think you need to resend your transcripts and such. Check the page with all of the finalist requirements. Good luck!</p>

<p>Okay, if I make finalist tonight, here’s my checklist for after work:</p>

<p>–send SAT scores
–finish filling out financial information (just labeling pages), send tomorrow
–have my GC fax my transcripts
–submit the Common Application for Stanford</p>

<p>On Monday…</p>

<p>–have my old high school fax transcripts (possibly have to go there?)</p>

<p>And then I’ll be done. 39 Days 'til D-Day (match day) if we make finalist tonight!</p>

<p>O_o i can’t keep focused in school! i thought i had managed to quash all hopeful thoughts about me being a finalist, but apparently not… every two seconds my brain detours away from whatever it is im SUPPOSED to be doing and comes back to questbridge. </p>

<p>hahaha oh, but ju_liaa, idk if you’ll see this, but my plan for my friends not to ask me? failed. epically. One said, “What are you doing for college?” which led to “Hey, aren’t you doing that QB thing?” which led to “Hey, when do you find out about that?” which led to me having a little breakdown ;)</p>

<p>Soooo its pretty much agreed then that we won’t start receiving e-mails until later on today in the afternoon, right?</p>

<p>agreed. my brain knows it’s true, but that doesn’t make it any easier for me to stop compulsively checking my email :)</p>

<p>Yes finalist!!! 10:40 am pacific time!!!</p>

<p>Rejected! :'(</p>

<p>10:44 AM Pacific Time</p>
