National College Match - 2009-2010

<p>@crystal91 I honestly don’t know. I thought I read that somewhere but I would hate to freak you out unduly. :P</p>

<p>I don’t know about others’ schools…but on QB Rice financial form it says</p>

<p>A copy of your parents’ 2008 federal income tax returns (signed, with all
schedules, attachments, W-2s, and other earnings statements). Include
personal and corporate/partnership tax returns.</p>

<p>(I just noticed it too)</p>

<p>but I don’t know if they mean by signing it on every page…prob it simply means there needs to be signature somewhere in the doc…</p>

<p>I’m going to call and ask tmr prob</p>

<p>“Signed” does not mean every page. It simply is to be signed on the last page at the bottom</p>

<p>Doesn’t the signed refer to the actual signatures on your financial forms?</p>

<p>You do not need a signature on every page, just the pages where it asks for a signature on the tax form. These pages should have already been signed when submitted to the IRS. But you do need your identification on every page. Most schools just request the student’s full name and the word Questbridge on each page. Yale also requests their ID # and some other schools may request your questbridge id #. This is just to keep track in case a page gets misplaced. But I also read in last years forum that Yale would still be able to process the forms correctly without the ID #. People were concerned about not getting their ID number e-mailed in time and Yale responded to fax forms without it. Bottom line is to make sure your complete name is on every page and every form you send to any school.</p>

<p>Oh, I was curious about the people posting their rankings on facebook. Doesn’t it concern you that the colleges to which you are applying are able to see how you ranked them?</p>

<p>@Groundzero14: Thanks. I guess I won’t really know until they (hopefully) respond to me tomorrow. Right now I’m wavering between thinking it’s going to be okay or at least fixable… or majorly freaking out. Not fun.</p>

<p>Also, I think this has been asked a couple of times before, but I didn’t see it answered. If you changed your mind/reconsidered a choice you ranked (it was my 7th choice btw), what should you do about it? If you decide to just self-sabotage and “forget” to send that school test scores/transcripts, would it affect your QB status or would it just cause that school to disregard your app? </p>

<p>Answers from previous QB applicants would be awesome!!</p>

<p>^^^^^
If you don’t send in the requirements for a specific school, they will simply disregard your app for the Match round.</p>

<p>@GA2012MOM</p>

<p>Okay, that’s kind of what I was thinking since QB makes a big deal about it being “out of their hands” post-Finalist notification. I’m still a little nervous, though… should I let the school know for courtesy’s sake or is that a bad idea?</p>

<p>Ok so on the Upenn cover sheet for financial docs, it says we need to complete the Penn Financial Aid Supplement after they send you the login credentials in early November. However, at the top of that same page it says financial forms must be faxed or postmarked by Novemeber 2. How does this all work. I am really confused.</p>

<p>^^^ i asked the same thing earlier. no answer… :/</p>

<p>^^^</p>

<p>Same question here. I even called the office of FA and got the most vague response EVAR. </p>

<p>Any ideas people?</p>

<p>I think that the financial aid thing for UPenn is filled out online and as such does not need to be included in the things you fax/mail. The UPenn people should know that it would be impossible to get the online form filled out by the deadline; Nov 1 is a Sunday and Nov 2 is a Monday; not exactly wiggle room.</p>

<p>IMPORTANT INFO. ABOUT PRINCETON!!!</p>

<p>Dear Future Princeton Undergraduate(lol, j/k),</p>

<pre><code> Thank you for your email and interest in Princeton University. It is okay to use the essays you wrote for your Questbridge application in the Common Application. You need to make sure, however, that you are answering the question that is on the Princeton Supplement. As long as you are answering the questions, that’s fine. Princeton will read and consider both applications. We wish you the best of luck in the process.

<p>So they say they will read both (meaning we can write different essays) but will they REALLY read all 6 of your essays (3 QB, 1 CommonApp, 2 Supplemental). O_O</p>

<p>Should I reuse the QB ones just to be safe?</p>

<p>inputs???</p>

<p>shoot i second that question.
also if im trying to complete the common app really fast for princeton…
can i go back and revise common app info (particularly essays) after i submit the common app to princeton? questbridge partners arent the only schools i have in mind and i would like t use the common app for others</p>

<p>WAIT, I have a question regarding sending scores. So, I am not sure if I want to send my October scores yet - I have no clue how I did on them. Should I wait until the scores come out before I send them? Or… do I blindly send them all in now?</p>

<p>wait so did questbridge post if people were finalists or not? i went to the my lockers page but i did not see anything, but i just got an email from emory saying “Please note that as a Questbridge finalist, we have already waived your application fee”!! i dont know if im a finalist or if they’re saying that IF im a finalist i can have my fee waived!! Help please!</p>

<p>@misterwang: i would blindly send them if i were you, especially if you feel you did well. you can always submit different ones in regular addmissions round.</p>

<p>@emuint: your locker page does not say youre a finalist. you receive an official email from questbridge alerting you of finalist status. check your email.</p>

<p>and if anyone knows the answer to my common app question… ?</p>

<p>@mollybusk
You can create up to 10 versions of the Common App. Go to the Support Center for Applicants on the website and on the left, click Completing the application > General Questions > I want to create an alternate version of my application.
Hope that helps.</p>
