National College Match - 2009-2010

<p>@sinceredesichick:</p>

<p>You don’t have to send in a fee waiver.</p>

<p>With regards to the criteria for finalist status, I believe that the selection committee was evaluating the whole person. SAT scores and GPA do not tell the entire picture and qb is looking for academically talented individuals who risen over obstacles.</p>

<p>has anyone gotten the email telling them if they got the css fee waiver or not?</p>

<p>Congratulation to all CC finalists! I’ve been selected as well.
I do have one question, however. October SAT scores will not be available until the 29th, and I am wondering when to send them through CollegeBoard. If I send them now, will the score from the subject test that I took be sent as well? Perhaps I should wait until October 29th to send my scores? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.</p>

<p>invidia: I think I heard admissions officers say before that the last testing date for early is November, and that you shouldn’t worry because the score report will arrive in time. They get it earlier than we do. So your score report is probably ready by now, and you could just send it now I think.</p>

<p>oh snaps, i have a question
so i submitted my college rankings in at like sept 25 but i never realized i had to fax in the match agreement sheet. i just realized that! do you think there will be dire consequences of this?! or should i just send it in ASAP</p>

<p>I’m trying to fax my transcript to the schools through docufide, and they have the following addresses to choose from for Yale:</p>

<p>Office of Undergraduate Admissions
38 Hillhouse Avenue
New Haven, CT 06511-3407</p>

<p>Post-Baccalaureate Premedical
P.O. Box 208234
New Haven, CT 06520-8234</p>

<p>Tim Wise
P.O. Box 208216
New Haven, CT 06520</p>

<p>Office of Undergraduate Admissions
38 Hillhouse Ave.
New Haven, CT 06511</p>

<p>-HOWEVER-</p>

<p>the QB website says that the official transcripts should be mailed to:</p>

<p>Office of Undergraduate Admissions
Yale University
P.O. Box 208234
New Haven, CT 06520-8234</p>

<p>–> none of the four choices matches exactly with this address. o_O Choice 2 seems right, but why is it called “Post-Baccalaureate Premedical” instead of “Office of Undergraduate Admissions”?</p>

<p>bklee1, email QB ASAP.</p>

<p>bklee1: you should probably fax it immediately and email QB.</p>

<p>sweetmochi: If the college’s requirements say to mail it, then mail it. QB transcripts go to a P.O. Box probalby because Yale wants to separate it from the rest of the applicant pool.</p>

<p>Sorry, I didn’t realize that if you submitted the Common App to one school, you can no longer edit anything for any of the other schools. I thought the warning meant that you could not edit the application for a particular school, no matter what the school said. So yeah… and I didn’t get to check “QuestBridge” for the “did you receive help blah blah” question. Oh well. It doesn’t matter now.</p>

<p>Hey,</p>

<p>This is my first time on CC…don’t know why I didn’t join before seeing as this site is actually pretty helpful! I’m a QB finalist too, but I made the dumb decision to NOT rank any schools. See, my mom wanted me to apply EA to UCONN (I live in Connecticut) and QuestBridge didn’t allow it. I’m still going to do the Regular Decision Process though. Will my being a QB finalist help me get into college?</p>

<p>hey all…I took the ACT today…it’s probably my best score, and I really want to send it in? Will it been seen by the schools…if anyone knows please let me know. Is there a certain date test scores must be in by?</p>

<p>You can have more than one version of the Common App. I don’t have a kid applying this year, so don’t remember exactly how my son did this, but I do know it is possible.</p>

<p>For people doing Stanford, Stanford wants us to mail the recs and stuff using mailing labels. The labels have Early Action and Regular Decision on it. Should I write in QuestBridge National College Match or just check off Regular?</p>

<p>Here are directions for making a different version of the Common App. See post #10</p>

<p>@immortalix: I think we have to check off “regular” according to the college match finalist information, since you have to check off “regular” anyway on the common app.</p>

<p>Should we write “Questbridge” after it though…? Probably not, since I don’t think they really care if we’re from QB or not… they do the whole process normally…Eh, I don’t think it would hurt if you do pencil in Questbridge though… Just so they’ll know you’re a Questbridge finalist</p>

<p>Hey guys! So I want to use my biographical essay, which talks about the personal challenges i’ve overcome (my household situation and how i’ve grown as a result), for my Common App essay. For the ‘topic’, do you think I should say topic of my choice or this one—</p>

<p>“Discuss some issue of personal, local, national, or international concern and its importance to you.”</p>

<p>Thanks so much :)</p>

<p>I think you should check “a topic of your choice” or something. Or a personal experience.</p>

<p>Hey everyone! I posted a question yesterday, but it was quickly buried under finalist-y celebration posts. D,: Can anyone help me out?</p>

<p>If we have decided that we will definitely not be attending one of the NONBINDING schools we ranked, are we allowed to just not submit the supplemental materials and be consequently “disqualified” from that particular match? Or will not sending in materials for a school that we ranked disqualify us from the match process at other schools as well?</p>

<p>I don’t want to lose out on a potential match from one of the schools I love because I didn’t fulfill my QuestBridge agreement to apply to every school that I ranked.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>^^ I doubt you’ll be disqualified if you don’t send in material from the whole process. Remember, other schools don’t know what other schools you ranked. </p>

<p>If you don’t turn it in, you won’t be accepted to the school that you hate anyway. So yeah, that’s what I would do if I was in your situation.</p>

<p>Hope this helps. :)</p>
