<p>@xctf: Almost certainly not. CollegeBoard loves the word NONREFUNDABLE. Why couldn’t you wait? Just nerves? In that case, maybe you should think long and hard about whether you needed it… since you were able to pay for it.</p>
<p>hello.
is anyone applying to upenn?
i didn’t get my “my penn applicant portal” username and password,
is there something wrong? did everyone else get their username and password or am i the only one that doesn’t have it?</p>
<p>(2) When you fax…you can only fax documents one at a time right? This seems like a dumb question but I’ve never faxed before so many pages. It took so long because I had to dial (with phone card) every time I had to send a page…until all 20 pages were sent. For each college. Am I doing this right?</p>
<p>i’m MAILING in all of my finaid forms…</p>
<p>for those with FAXES, have not fear. :P</p>
<p>^^what do you mean, for those with faxes, have not fear?</p>
<p>lol, ops i mean those who don’t have access to a fax machina :D</p>
<p>Ughh i am SO ANGRY. My mom isn’t helping me AT ALL with financial stuff. Just keeps on avoiding it >.<
It’s not like I’m killing myself to save her 200k+ on college tuition or anything…</p>
<p>Can’t get on CSS. ARGH!</p>
<p>If you don’t have a fax machine, you can use faxzero.com. I just faxed all of my transcripts using faxzero.com, after Googling to make sure it is legit. They charge $2 for up to 15 pages in a fax, as opposed to Fedex Kinkos which charges $1.50 for the first page and $1 for each additional page. FaxZero also gives you free faxes, but they have an ad on the cover, so that’s not recommended.</p>
<p>Wait Stanford doesn’t ask for another extra essay in the Common App like Princeton, correct?</p>
<p>What do you mean extra essay? Princeton and Stanford both said it was okay to reuse QB essays in the Common App.</p>
<p>On another note: I was looking at the decision threads on here for various schools and I’m perplexed. It seems to be all a guessing game…If you know what I mean?</p>
<p>I meant supplement essays. Like for the Princeton supplement there’s a 500 word essay where they give you like 4 prompts to choose from while Stanford only has some profile questions and short essays but not really an “essay prompt.”</p>
<p>use myfax instead. There’s a 30 day free trial where you can send 100 pages!</p>
<p>is it okay to use a QB essay for the Princeton supplemental essay?</p>
<p>I guess as long as it fits any of the prompts. I know that it’s either an influential person or book quotations so there might be a possibility one of your essays fits the prompts.</p>
<p>Also, anyone know how to check if the faxes went through?</p>
<p>natim1: I would email the financial aid office of the colleges you faxed it to to make sure.</p>
<p>of the 8 colleges:</p>
<p>Upenn
Brown
Columbia
Stanford
Princton
MIT
Northwestern
Yale</p>
<p>Which ones do I have to send all SAT and ACT test scores to???</p>
<p>I know I have to send Yale all my SAT or ACT scores or if I send both, then all from both.
I know Columbia also has that, but what about the others???</p>
<p>HELP NEEDED PLEASEEE!!</p>
<p>Just to make sure once again, some of you will be mailing and not faxing your financial documents to Yale right? Because it only mentions fax in the emails they sent but on the cover sheet, mailing is also an option. Just wanted to be sure before i mail them so I will not be the only one mailing.</p>
<p>PEOPLE WHO RANKED PRINCETON:</p>
<p>for Princeton’s significant experience essays, (which either has a quote or a poem line in the prompt), do we have to SPECIFICALLY mention that quote/poem-line in our essay? I’m writing the “Princeton in the Nation’s Service” significant experience essay.</p>
<p>Since 1 of my QB essay is about a volunteering experience and about me reaching out to help others (albeit in a small way)…I am planning to use that for the “Princeton in the Nation’s Service” essay (i mean, c’mon, how many of us has really done something in the service of the ‘nation’?)…so my question is: should i specifically tie my essay to “Princeton in the Nation’s Service”…and do I also have* to mention it in the essay?</p>
