National College Match - 2009-2010

<p>katchakern2003, but someone else on here claimed he/she did too and the admission officer said they read both.</p>

<p>laestudiante: huh. I didn’t know that. It’s just to me, the common app seemed to make more sense, and what the Princeton lady said made a lot of sense as well ‘we don’t have time to read both applications.’ But you’re right, we should double check.</p>

<p>yea, and i also asked them if we could add any questbridge essays (e.g. those explaining our financial situations) that might not be relevant to their common app prompts, just so that they have a sense of the challenges we’ve overcome and such. so we shall see.</p>

<p>but i guess for stanford, it’s pretty clear that they won’t read the questbridge apps? that’s so wrong, though. the three “essays” aren’t really essays. sigh.</p>

<p>Thanks for the heads up, kat. Ds is fast asleep, and I don’t know how to log on to his account, but I’ll ask him to check in the morning. I bet it’s all there though because it’s been done for more than a week, but ds and dh wanted me to look it over one more time before it was finally submitted.</p>

<p>So if UPenn does not send out the log n info to us soon, is anyone going to send their financial documents to them anyways without completing their financial application on the internet?</p>

<p>estudiante, a Princeton adcom told me via email they look at both apps…</p>

<p>go figure. lol</p>

<p>supposedly, if our income figures are ‘low enough’ once we get ready to hit the submit button the CSS Profile form we automatically get fee waivers. Well… I didn’t. Is that a bad sign? That my EFC isn’t 0 or something? I’m using the 2 fee waivers questbridge sent me, but now I’m really worried… Has this happened to anyone?</p>

<p>^ If you didn’t qualify for CSS Fee Waiver, it probably means your family can afford to pay for CSS Profile</p>

<p>also, to calculate the EFC do they use the 2009 income or the 2008 income? Because both were needed on the CSS form. And do we find out our EFC immediately after submitting the CSS? I’m so confused!</p>

<p>If you are a foster kid, what are you supposed to fill out for your parental tax returns?
Non-custodial only makes sense if you have one parent who contributes right?</p>

<p>There is no such thing as the CSS/PROFILE EFC, technically. You will never see that number. The CSS/PROFILE fee waivers are for students with incomes less than 150% of the poverty line and/or who qualify for federal means tested benefits, with few or no assets - as per the USDA Federal Free Lunch program guidelines.</p>

<p>You guys I’m bursting with energy due to SAT scores. Now I feel like I have a chance!!!</p>

<p>Congrats, andromeda! Hopefully all of you get great news.</p>

<p>Ughh i just read the wall for the QB Finalists 2008-2009 group on fbook last night. Not good T_T…hoping for RD.</p>

<p>For STANFORD, do we need to send in Letters of Recommendation or the Teacher Evaluations for Questbridge?</p>

<p>anybody still hasn’t got a Yale ID number?</p>

<p>@misterwang: we have to resend our letter of reccs through the common app for Stanford</p>

<p>For anyone who sent financial documents to UPenn: I just got an email telling me that they received my stuff. I sent my stuff on Saturday for UPenn from Ohio and they got it today.</p>

<p>@spiritualwatch: how did you submit your financial documents to UPenn without a login key? Did you just mail everything but the penn-specific financial form?</p>
