National College Match - 2009-2010

<p>Yodon’tsay - lol…not so much…</p>

<p>a Princeton rep came to my school last week…she talked to everyone. I stayed after and asked her a bunch of specific questions…and by the end she was like “what’s your name, by the way?” and even though i have a pretty regular name, i happen to be the FIRST name on her visiting sign-in sheet (yay). she’s the regional director and she reads our apps…i think i cut her off once or twice though (i was too excited). lol</p>

<p>hey you guys. this is from the CSS "Enter the income tax your parents paid for 2008 from their 2008 IRS Form 1040, line 56. "</p>

<p>its not on line 56, i have the 1040 form from 2008. help me?</p>

<p>my paren’ts taxable income is ~1800, according to the form, but my mom insists we paid ~2100 in taxes, is that even possible?</p>

<p>@Code H: First of all, coolness that a Princeton rep was able to go to your school! The most my school gets is in-state schools. And congrats on how Princeton already knows you :smiley: </p>

<p>Secondly, You don’t have to include the quote in your essay as long as your essay pertains to your quote. But I did include the quote in my essay because that’s just my style, haha.</p>

<p>crystal91: i am already 60 words over…i will NOT have space to include a quote at all. lol</p>

<p>any answers to the CCS question?</p>

<p>The rep for one of the schools ds ranked was at his HS this week so ds just handed him an envelope with all his QB material.</p>

<p>^ lol nice.</p>

<p>MIT and Yale: all info SENT out. Dec 1, here I come</p>

<p>Princeton: all things done, just need to click submit (sunday morning :P)
Stanford: Why Stanford essay…I have the draft in my head, so this should be quick.</p>

<p>P.S. 2 stanford CSS questions.</p>

<p>Enter the student’s proposed major field of study.<br>
Enter the student’s career objective.</p>

<p>is this important? is career objective…like the occuption? i.e. doctor, lawyer etc etc.?</p>

<p>the common app says the deadline for Princeton and Stanford is nov. 1st. should we submit everything by then or can qb applicants submit it on the 2nd? (although i hope to be submitting before then…)</p>

<p>Code H:</p>

<p>For the income tax paid, look at the 1040 page 2 line 61. There you’ll see your ‘income tax’</p>

<p>^I was also wondering that Code H. I’m not sure what they’re looking for there</p>

<p>raechelli: to see the income tax you paid, look at your 2008 tax return, and find line 61 (it should be on the 2nd page?)</p>

<p>anybody still waiting for Yale ID number?</p>

<p>@kangaroo423: Uh, I think Yale sent it out a couple of days ago. Perhaps you can check your SPAM or Deleted Mail to see if it’s there for some reason. Or you should try calling the admissions office?</p>

<p>Just got Oct SAT scores and dont know if i should rush them because they asked to report as soon as oct 23 or should i not rush them because they said not too</p>

<p>I dont know, please help!</p>

<p>^^ Resist the temptation ib612!! :stuck_out_tongue: No seriously, I don’t think you should rush them because rushing puts the scores in a separate file/pile and it will only either leave them oblivious to your scores or delayed in getting around to them.</p>

<p>I’m sure they’ll understand. You did mark in your application the dates of the OCT SAT right? (with no score after it) They’ll know to look for it.</p>

<p>Anyone get the Princeton financial aid info yet? If so, what items do we need?</p>

<p>QB specifically said not to use the rush score service, as it will be pretty much useless. They’ll get there in time. The QB partner schools (at least the ones I know of) accept the Oct SAT date. So no, you don’t need to use the rush service.</p>

<p>natim1:</p>

<p>The Princeton Financial Aid application is supposed to arrive by mail in early November, according to the Princeton QB site. I haven’t received anything yet. Still waiting.</p>

<p>by the way, if any of you have to fill out the common application supplement, how long was your essay? I know the suggested length for the Princeton one is “around 500 words” but mine is 656 words. Is that too long??</p>

<p>@katkachern2003: I actually meant Code H’s question before that XD:</p>
