National College Match - 2009-2010

<p>@ purpleturtle and @admiralxiphos:</p>

<p>I think questbridge is truly focused on how you achieved those scores and what you had to overcome to do so rather than how high the scores were. I’m gonna say that essays were DEFINITELY a big part of it, because my SAT score was just 1960 and I was chosen. I hate putting it this way :frowning: I just hope it gives you some perspective on what they were looking for.</p>

<p>Honestly, I can’t believe I got it. One of my close friends also applied and we’re from the same school. I thought that at most one of us would get it. Luck? Probably, haha.</p>

<p>And yeah, when will we hear about CSS fee waivers?</p>

<p>And I will ask again…
how about the css profile???</p>

<p>and again, are we positive about princeton and stanford not reading our qb apps but only our common app + supplements and the teacher recs we send through common app??</p>

<p>Ds is in! :D</p>

<p>(((Hugs)))) to those who didn’t make it. And, gosh, I am shocked at the stats of some of you. I am curious about that. But I guess it doesn’t do any good to second-guess at this point.</p>

<p>Congrats to those who are in. I think it’s just now hitting me how much of a crapshoot actually being matched will be.</p>

<p>also, are all of the finalists just sending their score reports now? or did you guys already do that because, say, you were planning on applying to those schools anyways…</p>

<p>and also, sigh… everything is so expensive… things add up.</p>

<p>Wow I actually made it as a finalist :eek:</p>

<p>Guys does it say FINALIST anywhere on your Lockers? Cause i got the “congratz” email, but i don’t see anything on MyLocker…am i the only one? Or is it just not supposed to say it on the website…</p>

<p>It doesn’t say it on the website. I’m sending scores now.</p>

<p>If I ranked only non-binding schools, can I start sending in RD apps?</p>

<p>ju_liaa, no, i dont have anything like that on My Locker. And are you applying to Princeton/Stanford at all? Dyou know anything about QB app v. common app and whether they read both?</p>

<p>Yeahh I’m sending out my scores tonight. And mailing/ faxing FA stuff tomorrow.</p>

<p>Regular Decision? You’re always allowed to send those, as long as you check off RD :)</p>

<p>So, I ranked notre dame (non binding), but now, the one thing I’m sure about, is that I DONT want to go there. but, already wrote the essays and everything, so oh well.</p>

<p>No i mean FA stuff that’s required for QB schools. And i ranked Princeton but to be honest im not concerned about which application they look at because i can’t do anything about it XD</p>

<p>You can really only make your commonapp as kickass as possible if you screwed up on the QB one and then hope for the best right?</p>

<p>I don’t understand how I wasn’t picked as a finalist!</p>

<p>How are you guys faxing things? (Can’t use the school fax, costs money, wayyy too much). Any tips for how to fax things free/cheap. I’ve been going to various banks and asking them to do it for me, but I can only ask so many times…</p>

<p>maybe youll change your mind. you have nothing to lose, just send it in. unless well, you dont want to take someone else’s spot.</p>

<p>Oh man. Oh man oh man oh man oh man the suspense is actually KILLING ME. I’m stuck at home on my computer and i haven’t received anything yet. Could it be that its because i’m on the west coast? </p>

<p>Freaking. </p>

<p>Out. </p>

<p>!!!</p>

<p>Go to a staples or Kinkos. I faxed 2 pages there for about $3 (gonna be quite a bit when i send FA stuff…) and it’s a ‘do it yourself’ type of thing.</p>

<p>but ju_liaa, i don’t know if i should re-mention by socioeconomic status and stuff on my common app+supplements. i want them to understand all sides of me, so i figure if they read my qb app too, why not add a new essay on common app?</p>

<p>are you just reusing your old essays?</p>
