<p>no no, we’re FINALISTS for this school year…</p>
<p>So, how many finalists were QuestBridge College Prep people too? I was one so who else?</p>
<p>I have requested to join the Facebook group!</p>
<p>Yeah what happened to the plethora of QB College Prep people? They forgot about us 
haha</p>
<p>I added the FB group that was titled 09-10… we’re finalists for the 2009-2010 year right? We’ll be Quest scholars 10-11 (or 10-14?) if we get matched or something… I think.</p>
<p>Btw, I love being a 2010er. 2010 and 2014 are nice, neat numbers. 2013 etc just seem so random and odd. :D</p>
<p>for those who couldn’t find the group, here’s the link:</p>

<p>ah…the power of facebook. haha…</p>
<p>Here’s what the email says for future reference:</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>In regards to the CSS Profile: Fill out the CSS Profile when you have time. If your income is below a certain amount, College Board automatically grants you a fee waiver near the end when you review your completed CSS Profile (right before you submit it). I got a fee waiver like that, so don’t wait for QuestBridge to send you a fee waiver. See if you can get it now by finishing the Profile.</p>
<p>but immortalix, how about you assets?</p>
<p>so for any supplemental/additional info we have to submit by Nov 2, is there anything I should write on there to say that I am a “QB Finalist” ? Like, if I submit college transcripts, or for MIT, a supplemental research abstract, would I have to designate myself as a “QB Finalist” on all material? Or is it alright if I just send it in?</p>
<p>laestudiante: My family has no assets, so I don’t know.</p>
<p>my MIT interview:</p>
<p>i forgot to tell her about the obstacles i overcame, low income etc. she started asking about my EC…and that became the entire interview.</p>
<p>she doesn’t know that i am poor. :(</p>
<p>1 hour long, she was 15 minutes late, she kept checking her blackberry (work-related)…it was okay. at the end, she just said “it was so nice to meet you”</p>
<p>no “omg, you’re so in!” or “you are one of the most amazing blah blah”…i guess i didn’t impress her…</p>
<p>Oh guys, are you going to put QuestBridge National College Match Finalist on your CommonApp under awards?</p>
<p>My MIT interview was sort of not what I expected:
She didn’t really ask me anything. It was like 20 minutes long (very short…). She spoke about her experience. I asked her questions. I did appreciate that she was really frank with me: If she could pick MIT or another college after having been at MIT for 4 years, she would pick a liberal arts. MIT was very intense, and really is for the hardcore engineering students. If you’re not absolutely sure you’re going to do hardcore science, then don’t pick MIT.</p>
<p>tomjonesistheman, good question. should we email questbridge about this?</p>
<p>immortalix, it depends. if you have more slots to fill (aren’t there about 6?), why not? If you don’t, then just don’t put it in.</p>
<p>Do you think it will be safe to send all my ACT scores to all colleges that I ranked? (Brown, Rice, UPenn, Stanford, Yale) I only took it twice :)</p>
<p>for the collegeboard waiver, your assets have to be below 35k. I’m not sure what the income cut off is. Theres all that info online though.</p>
<p>^Ya, laestudiante do you want to email QB about it? lol, I just emailed them like 3 times about different stuff -_-</p>
<p>As far as putting “Questbridge finalist” on our common app, I think that’d be a little redundant because they’re going to have your QB application on hand, your name on that QB list they get, your fee waiver will be waived automatically (and they’ll know)…I feel that if you put “Questbridge finalist”…would it seem as if you’re just looking to fill space?</p>
<p>@immortalix: I’m putting my finalist status under awards on CommonApp; I’m proud of it so why not put it there? It’s pretty exclusive too, especially for something that’s considered international.</p>
<p>^That’s an interesting thought. I’m gonna put it under Awards too…I mean it’s better than “Stock Market Game Winner - School”</p>
<p>It should be called the Questbridge International CollegeMatch :]</p>
<p>I’m putting it under Honors as 12th grade, international</p>
<p>honors section is the same thing as awards section right?</p>
