<p>everybody, save the $9 and don’t report your scores to yale. as long as theyre on your transcript, theyll take them. I just emailed them.</p>
<p>I hate repeating questions, but can the OCTOBER act scores be used in the first round? If so, how can we be send them…i don’t even know when the scores come. Also…did anyone get the fee waiver for the CSS yet? Because I haven’t found out about it yet (no emails sent)</p>
<p>hey guys, has anyone been informed of whether or not they got the css fee waiver?</p>
<p>@leadgirl712: I haven’t gotten notified for the fee waiver from QB yet but I got one from College Board.</p>
<p>I’ve now gotten copies of all of the financial documents and stuff that I need and now all I need to do is address the envelopes, wait for the Yale ID, and wait for the information for Princeton.</p>
<p>QUESTION: Is the stuff from Princeton supposed to arrive in the mail this week or will it be later than that?</p>
<p>what do i do if the 3rd party statement guy didnt put any contact information on his statement?</p>
<p>Some colleges asked for a pay stub but how do I show that if my father is unemployed and receives benefits every week through direct deposit?</p>
<p>what kinds of financial documents do we need?</p>
<p>@natim-- i’m just writing the third party’s contact information on the sheet and then including the actual statement as a separate sheet of paper.</p>
<p>has anyone submitted the common app for the schools that require it for the match like stanford/princeton? i’m so scared to press the button.</p>
<p>i checked the myMIT site and it already says that they’ve received all my stuff and that they know i’m applying through QB! it’s so classy :)</p>
<p>I hit the button for Stanford, without realizing I couldn’t edit the app for any other school. Baring unusual circumstances, so be it. I’m ready to be done with paperwork! Just have essays and more paperwork (of course, it never ends) to finish. I have 7-10 essays (Rice, UChicago, and then Boston University if I’m feeling queasy) and scholarship essays for Washington University in St. Louis, but almost all of those can be doubled with other essays.</p>
<p>Tomorrow I’m mailing my financial documents to Stanford. Still waiting for my Yale ID to mail financial documents and then fax transcripts (maybe faxing old school transcripts tomorrow if I can request them via email). That’s all that’s left. Just left with writing essays, mailing out my old school’s transcripts, and hitting SUBMIT! Life is good!</p>
<p>Somebody probably answered this already, but for the additional info in commonapp, can I just explicitly state some family stuff without getting into an engaging, profound essay about how it influenced me?</p>
<p>HELP! Where do I indicate that I am a QB Finalist on the Yale supplement?</p>
<p>Also, I requested to join QB Finalists on Facebook, but I’m wondering who controls the group?</p>
<p>Do you guys know if you have to have absolutely NO contact with your noncustodial parent in order to get the QuestBridge Noncustodial Parent Waiver?</p>
<p>harmony92, you don’t need to do the Yale supplement. Yale takes the QB app. </p>
<p>Also, the facebook group is stupid. whoever locked it as private is essentially making the group useless. it should be an outlet for all who are interested in QB, not just finalists. What’s to prevent nonfinalists from joining anyways? (ahem, group creator, make it public like the groups from the previous two years)</p>
<p>everyone, for the noncustodial parent waiver petition, should our personal statements just comprise of an explanation and sincerely, our names. Does it need a heading or anything else?</p>
<p>And the same for the 3rd party statement?</p>
<p>also it says “provide a written statement”… does that mean we can’t type it?</p>
<p>What’s so good about being a QB finalist anyways?</p>
<p>please help! someone</p>
<p>I’m doing the Regular Decision. I’m a QB finalist but I didn’t match any Partner Colleges because I was stupid, lol. So for the RD process, it says the supplement for Yale is needed. And as an answer to the question about fee waivers, Yale said, "Indicate need for a fee waiver on the Common Application and Yale Supplement in the appropriate space, being sure to mention “QuestBridge”'.</p>
<p>ib612, are you bitter over being rejected or something? if so, i’m sorry. being a QB finalist means you made it through one selection committee in an alternate college process, and we have a chance to get into a good college that might not offer early admissions, so there is plenty of excitement in that. that being said, most of us are scrambling to get our apps, supps, and other info together.</p>
<p>Somebody probably answered this already, but for the additional info in commonapp, can I just explicitly state some family stuff without getting into an engaging, profound essay about how it influenced me?</p>
<p>Also, for the elaboration on an activity, it also can be just a brief explanation right? no vivid imagery of the activity?</p>
