<p>@crystal91: That makes sense. Thanks for the words of wisdom! 
I just don’t want to risk taking someone’s spot at a university they love when I’m sure it isn’t a good fit for me.</p>
<p>hey guys, i’m filling out the CCS Profile right now. they want the 2009 IRS form…but my parent’s tax forms this year hasn’t been received yet…</p>
<p>even though they ask for the 2009 IRS form 1040…can i just put in 2008’s information?</p>
<p>@code, yes that is what i did. I think there’s like a drop down menu and you select that your parents will file/ are filing a 2009 tax form. When you do this it will ask you about the 2008 info.</p>
<p>@ Code H: yeah, I don’t have the 2009 information yet either (nobody does!). I am just estimating the 2009 information based on the 2008 info. That’s what my mom told me to do. :]</p>
<p>EDIT: Haha, andromeda89 and I replied at the exact same time. XD</p>
<p>omg, that CCS is so frustrating. i’m like 1/3 done…i’m sure i’ve made like a dozen mistakes so far.</p>
<p>seriously, whatever, i’m putting in info. TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE. :P</p>
<p>Ignorance is NOT a Crime, y’all!!! lol</p>
<p>I agree, CSS is sooo petty!</p>
<p>my mom has been trying to calculate our mortage/home value for the last 5-10 minutes…she’s about to be like “**** this sh1t” lol</p>
<p>@Code H: Actually, they did say to estimate based on your pay stubs from 2009 and from 2008 tax return so be careful.</p>
<p>Also: most homes should receive somethign that calculates your mortgage/home value for you…?</p>
<p>Just curious, how many applicants do you think QB NCM had this year?</p>
<p>5.3k-6k, but the real question is what percentage of those applicants will receive acceptance from a QB partner school through either the match process or regular decision?</p>
<p>@crystal: yeah, we based most of our info. on the 2008 tax form. we always estimated higher when we were not sure (which made us look slightly richer), so that it’s not like we’re trying to scam the college for more fin.aid. lol </p>
<p>yea. she found the mortgage info in her cabinet, but the home value was really a guesstimate.</p>
<p>i am DONE! lol, so relieved.</p>
<p>@Code H - There is a formula (found on the web) used to calculate home value - It’s price & year purchased multiplied by XX = Appreciated Value (less mortgage). The value will also be compared to other homes on your block.
Too late now to ask - Mom did it - let me know tomorrow if you still need the formula and I’ll post to you!</p>
<p>hey GTC. that would be great if you can. thanks!!!</p>
<p>I don’t know if this will help me know if I have everything I need, but how many pages were your financial forms that you had to fax?</p>
<p>@ GetToCollege: Not a QB finalist (so technically I shouldn’t be reading this thread anymore, but I’m still “instantly subscribed” by email and this group of people is awesome =D), but that formula would still be great if it’s not too inconvenient for you. Thanks!! =)</p>
<p>I’m wondering that too Omega. The only thing I am sending is my mom’s 1040a which is 2 pages long and the noncustodial parent waiver.</p>
<p>Ok, so for example, Princeton. If I have to mail my official transcripts and resubmit teacher recommendations, can I put those all in 1 envelope?</p>
<p>And, just want to make sure. But, since I only ranked non-binding schools, can I go ahead and send in applications to other schools? (most of them are QB partners, I was just waiting to get my fee waiver before submitting Common App)</p>

<p>Why not just use the number you get from the appraisal district?</p>
