<p>Someone should make a “QB Not Finalist” thread – but that might be a bit too depressing?</p>
<p>Yes finalist yes yes yes yes omg omg omg ! Yay! Its so early too!! It got here at 1:40 but I only just got home to read it!! </p>
<p>Congrats to everyone else who got finalist status and I’m so so so sorry for those who didn’t. Just keep in mind that this isn’t the only chance you will have to get into these awesome schools and you can try for ED.</p>
<p>congrats guys, and yea it is pretty early this year. so…who else is sending transcripts from college classes by nov 2nd?? how the heck do they expect us to follow this deadline, i just went to my college to request a transcript, and they said it would take 7 days to process, so I’d be on the borderline…</p>
<p>My college said the same thing. I turned in the transcript request yesterday.</p>
<p>Anyone know how long regular SAT score reports take?</p>
<p>questbridge finalist!</p>
<p>WOOT! Finalist!!!</p>
<p>So happy right now.</p>
<p>Question: If, on my transcirpts and QB app, I reported all scores, should I send in official score reports for all of them too? Here’s my thing, My ACT score is great, and my SAT score (2 sittings), if you look at the highest from each sitting, is just as good. Will it hurt me if I only report one of the other? Or should I just send in both?</p>
<p>so what about the fee waivers for CSS PROFILE?</p>
<p>Hello, I’m a finalist as well, and I have a question.</p>
<p>Hypothetically, though not hopefully, let’s say that I don’t get through the National College Match Process, if I were to apply RD, exactly how much would I get in FA?</p>
<p>From what I’ve heard, the FA is “generous.” But exactly how generous is this “generous?” </p>
<p>Thank you in advance.</p>
<p>Hey guys can you tell me if its weird that I didn’t become finalist?</p>
<p>34 ACT
4.001 GPA (1st in class)
Good Extracurriculars
Hardest course load for my high school (rural CO)
11k AGI
1st generation 4-year college-bound
1st generation American citizen (Polish)</p>
<p><em>sigh</em> At least on the bright side I have less apps to do this week… …but I have to pay for them all! grrrrr…</p>
<p>On that same note:</p>
<p>2230 SAT I
700+ SAT II (four of them)
4.000 unweighed GPA (top in class)
~4.6 weighted GPA
Good EC’s (with leadership)
Hardest course load possible (~2 years of college units already)
Low enough AGI</p>
<p>But in any case, back to our regularly scheduled programming…</p>
<p>Idk admiral, maybe your essays sucked? (I mean that in the nicest way possible, just trying to cut to the chase). To the kid who asked about FA, if you qualify financially for QB (less than 60k), basically all of the EXTREMELY selective schools (Ivies, etc) will pay for it all. And, if oyu’re smart, you’ll get FA and merit scholraships at other schools.</p>
<p>Natim1, I guess it depend on what the individuals colleges require. However, I am sending all of my SAT scores though there’s almost a 200 pt difference between my first and second sitting. But then again, I did list all of them on my QuestBridge app. But if they’re decent as well, you shouldn’t have a problem. Best of luck.</p>
<p>Finalist!
Guys who didn’t get in, I’m shocked. You seem to be really well qualified. APply ED and RD for sure!</p>
<p>Yes, yes, yes…finalist!</p>
<p>I think the essays were a big part of it. I managed to get in with an income of about 150,000, but that was from last year’s income taxes and it wasn’t a good representation of my current situation, and I explained that very vividly in the essays.</p>
<p>Yeah wow i am really shocked at those who didn’t get it… :/</p>
<p>I think you all have AMAZING chances at getting into these schools anyways! And when they say “generous” about FA they mean it! BU isn’t a partner, but it has a lower endowment than many of the partners and gave my sister an almost full ride. Don’t get discouraged and keep trying! </p>
<p>Chances of getting the match are like 2% anyways… XD</p>
<p>If we aren’t matched (which will probably happen), do I have to resend teacher recommendations AGAIN? (to schools like Stanford, princeton, etc who asked for them as part of the match too)</p>
<p>OMG!!! I can’t believe I’m finalist… </p>
<p>As far as Admiral and Purple: your stats and income sound more qualified than mine…so I’m really surprised. I mean, I thought my essays were mediocre, but I had great extracurriculars and recognitions… No matter–you guys definitely from the looks of it will have a great chance at whatever colleges you plan to apply. Good luck!</p>
<p>GOOD LUCK!!!</p>
<p>and also, to those who weren’t finalists, you’re awesome people, I’m sure. I hope you won’t let this bring you down. Instead, it should inspire you to work harder Regular Decision/EA/ED. And if there’s anything wrong with your essay, for example, now you have more time to edit everything. The ultimate test will come in your Reg/EA/ED round, so isn’t is better if you find something wrong with your app now and fix it rather than later when you cant do anything about it?? Best of luck, not that I’m saying there’s anything wrong with your essay or anything. And I know that if your income is rather high, even if it’s below 60K, your chances of being a finalist are significantly reduced.</p>
<p>And also, just consider what % of finalists actually get into a school they ranked I believe there were only about 230 accepted through the College Match and the most selective schools like Yale accepted only about 20. Considering that there were about 900 finalists who listed Yale as a choice (read this in a Yale article) and that these finalists have already been winnowed by QB, the acceptance rate is not very encouraging even for finalists.
