<p>@applicannot and ju_liaa: I remember reading in past posts your extensive volunteer service hours. Just curious, did you guys lump in your hours from volunteering at just once place (such as a hospital) or did you include every volunteer thing you ever did, even if it was for, say, Beta Club or NHS? I’m curious because I never really added up my hours like that and just said 50++ hours for volunteering at hospital, and then listed the other service projects that I did</p>
<p>Crap, anyone know how much paper weighs? I dropped off 3/4 of my financial aid document letters at the post office box, and they were in a regular letter, and the heaviest ones had like 8 pages of paper in them. I only put 1 44 cent stamp on each…is that enough???</p>
<p>CSS/PROFILE fee waivers have been released. UNFORTUNATELY, there’s a problem. I submitted an application for a fee waiver to QB because I thought, according the CollegeBoard regulations, I would not receive a fee waiver. Well, I did. So I emailed QuestBridge and had them revoke my application for the fee waiver, which they did. But today I received an email saying that I was granted a CSS/PROFILE fee waiver from QB… ack! Someone else needs that waiver! I called them and explained to them the issue but had to just leave a message. I hope someone gets back to me. However, I received two fee waiver codes, and the email says “Each fee payment code will cover the registration fee for the CSS PROFILE, as well as the reporting fee for one college or university.” So does that mean the fee waiver only covered two fees? Ouch…</p>
<p>@crystal91: I only volunteer for one organization, so those are my hours for that organization only. However, those are only my 9-12 hours (and I included the rest of this year). I have at least 2000+ more from elementary and middle school.</p>
<p>^(^#$^#(#Q(&%&#q%)&#q))&)* AHHHHHH. CRAPPPPP. My frekaing financial aid docs wont get past the post office but wont get back to me in time either. So now, i can either reprint everything and remail everything, OR someone can teach me how to fax thigns for free. I have a scanner, and internet.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Wait what is the fax number to which I could fax materials to MIT?</p>
<p>Just a quick thought…it can be VERY difficult to fax things to the schools. D found the fax #'s to be busy consistantly. It took her a couple of days to get through to one of the schools to fax financial forms. Don’t wait till the last minute, or even day!</p>
<p>Fax numbers can be busy? So strange. Don’t they have… fax waiting?</p>
<p>Got my Yale ID today and the stuff is going out tomorrow! Yay!</p>
<p>Can’t I just mail an update letter then…</p>
<p>applicannot, you can give those 2 codes to me! ;)</p>
<p>tomjones, idk the fax #…she didn’t say. i guess just the undergrad admissins office fax #</p>
<p>i faxed alot of stuff today…but i’m curious, how can i be SURE that they really did get the stuff!!!</p>
<p>p.s. i am basically sending MIT and Yale my commonapp EC list. :P</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>LOL, yes they can be busy! Just imagine the number of people faxing things with MANY pages. It literally took D 2 days to get through, and that was pushing redial continuosly!</p>
<p>I just hope that if I send extra info bout my other non-listed EC’s with my transcripts, they might find it a bit much. Anyone else have this concern</p>
<p>ahh I didn’t realize fax numbers could get busy. Thanks for the advice!</p>

<p>I have a few questions. I tried researching the answers on my own, but I’m getting mixed answers and becoming confused:</p>
<p>1) Do we have to send AP scores? If we do, do they have to be official? I know they said not to rush report anything, but Stanford’s app instructions require that scores arrive at their office by Nov. 2nd.</p>
<p>2) What exactly has to be labeled with QuestBridge on it? Do all envelopes to schools have to say something like “Attn: Questbridge Finalist Committee.” For example, I’m ordering a transcript from a course I took this summer at a college. For the mailing address, should I put “QuestBridge” somewhere?</p>
<p>3) I know essays from the QB app can be reused, but is it a bad idea to reuse our same exact QB essays for the personal statement (since it’s probably better to write something new for the supplements)?</p>
<p>4) I keep hearing people say it, but can it be verified anywhere that some schools do not read the QuestBridge app? I was just wondering…>.<</p>
<p>hey guys. i think i overestimated my hours for 1 club in school. should i put the correct amount (a lower amount) on the CommonApp when i sent it to Princeton?</p>
<p>will they compare the QB EC list and the CommonApp EC list and see the discrepancy and auto-reject?</p>
<p>basically what happened was i forgot to consider the fact that in freshmen year, i was much less involved than right now…thus pushing the average hr/wk down…</p>
<p>for the income tax return documents, mine is such a thick pile. do i have to include schedule A, earned income credit, claim for empire state child credit, etc. pages? how many pages is the income tax return documents?</p>
<p>If QB cannot redistribute the codes, I will use one for a second safety (I’m getting nervous!) and give the other away.</p>
<p>I have 9 pages total for my 2008 federal income tax return…Does that seem right? I hear you guys talking about 20 pages + and I’m like “oh no! am I missing anything?”</p>
<p>It’s okay if the colleges don’t RECEIVE our mailed forms by nov. 2nd…They just have to be post marked by then, right?</p>
<p>^^yes. </p>
<p>Another question: When it says "A copy of your parents’ 2008 federal income tax returns (signed, with all schedules, attachments, W-2s, etc), what in the world is “schedules”?</p>
