<p>thanks spirtual witch! :)</p>
<p>laestudiante, write it with a pen. thtas whta i did.</p>
<p>ib612; you dont have to pay app fees.</p>
<p>I am probably the only Finalist here who didn’t do the College Match.</p>
<p>@applicannot
Why can’t you edit the Common App for other schools? I thought you could make up to 10 alternate versions.</p>
<p>So after reading everyone’s stats on CC, I’m a bit worried, haha. I still don’t exactly know how I was selected as a finalist compared to some amazing people here, but I can’t say I’m not happy !</p>
<p>My Stats:
1960 SAT (1310 CR+M)
3.9 UW (stupid B+ in Photography lol) and 4.3 W
Class Rank: 16/700
AP US History - 4
AP Lang&Comp - 4
Senior Sched:
AP Lit, AP Psych, AP Statistics, AP Calc, Human Anatomy (this class is changing to honors next year…apparently not helping me out), Honors Spanish 5 (no ap available)</p>
<p>ECs: I couldn’t fit everything, and I wrote something else in my Additional Info. I put: Neshaminy Cares Leader (10-12, Leader in 12), Debate Team 11 & 12, World Affairs Club- Treasurer, Model UN, and the American Legion Keystone Girls State 1-week program. I probably should’ve put my other clubs and activities since it’s my strong point in my Add. Info., but whatever 
Work: Panera Bread cashier Nov 2007-Present 8hrs a week during school, 16-20 a week during summer
Essays: Bio- great, Short Answers- personally I thought they could have been more engaging considering I love writing, but both were unique experiences to me
Teacher Recs - Counselor - didn’t see, Teacher 1 - awesome, Teacher 2 - great
Background: Indian, parents moved here 22 years ago, suburban school, income less than 27000, brother went to college and graduated in 2003
Generally: I tried showing who I really was in my short answers, and I did this by being completely honest. I didn’t make it fancier than it needed to be (Bolt was one of my favorite movies!) and didn’t try to show off.</p>
<p>I would not use the non-custodial parent waiver if that parent pays child-support and/or you have any contact.</p>
<p>dang, I just realized that my parents have not filled 2008 tax return yet(Because my family have been in the US for only one year, we dont know much about tax. We just assumed that we did not have to fill tax return because my dad only made $2500 last year.)
What do I have to do?
And now I’m freakingly sick(may be swine flu).</p>
<p>applicannot, I made a earlier post with a link to directions on how to make a different version of the Common App.</p>
<p>@co2014 waaay up thread…</p>
<p>I did email all the schools I ranked and Stanford is the only one who has replied. It is very frustrating they’re telling me that “at the moment only US Citizens and residents are eligible,” but that “international students are an integral part” of their college. A very vague question to a very specific answer. They’re not telling me to send them or not send them the requirements. If anyone has more concrete info, please help me! </p>
<p>Meanwhile, waiting for the other colleges’ reply…</p>
<p>Does anyone know what to put under Occupation if your parents are self-employed? They own an s-corporation, if that makes any difference.</p>
<p>do you guys know if it’s alright to put a why __ university spiel under additional info? i want to go to __ like crazy and ranked it first on QB.</p>
<p>you GUYS. my QB app sucks. and yale & MIT are seeing it. i want to update it so BAD. but can’t ugh…frustrated…</p>
<p>I put down my ACT scores on my QB app, but only Penn requires that you send all scores. Should I bother sending it to my other schools if they don’t “require” that you send it?</p>
<p>Omg I feel you CodeH. My QB app is nowhere as strong as my Stanford and Princeton apps…Reading back on my QB, I feel as if I presented a very one-sided version of me. PURE OBSTACLES. But for Princeton and Stanford, I managed to put more stuff in… ahh… oh well… There goes Yale…</p>
<p>if youre talking about schools like bowdoin, im still going to send mine even thought they dont require it (if your scores make you look better you might as well right?)
also i have a question:
when do we get our stupid css profile fee waiver emails?! will we receive an email still if they decide we dont qualify for the waiver?!
someone… help</p>
<p>omg crystal91, thanks for feeling my pain. Yale and MIT aren’t responding to my emails.</p>
<p>I’ve been contacting them to update my info. for some time now…</p>
<p>@mollybusk: same question here! i’ve done the CSS, and am just waiting for waiver before sending it…</p>
<p>Everyone who’s applying to MIT: Is October 20th the deadline for students to conduct the interview or to schedule the interview? I’m having my interview next week, is it ok?</p>
<p>See Post #3087 by immotalix.
When you complete the CSS profile - at the end it says if you qualify for the fee waiver or not, it’s an automatic fee waiver.</p>
<p>If you didn’t qualify automatically through your CSS profile and couldn’t pay, then you had to request the special Questbridge CSS Fee waiver. </p>
<p>QB said it has very limited funds for this extra fee waiver & not many applicants will get it!</p>
