National College Match - 2009-2010

<p>I need help with the Why Stanford essay. ugh</p>

<p>I just need to write this. then i can submit my apps tonight and actually have fun tomorrow. -.-</p>

<p>@Code H</p>

<p>Just list reasons why you want to attend Stanford.
Then, pick one and write about it!
That method really helped me.</p>

<p>Quick question for those who ranked UPenn:</p>

<p>Did we have to include this cover sheet <a href=“Submit My Documents”>http://www.sfs.upenn.edu/pdf/2010-2011/US-coversheet-taxID-2010-2011-freshman.pdf&lt;/a&gt; along with our financial documents? I only included this cover sheet <a href=“QuestBridge”>QuestBridge;

<p>I need help on the Roommate essay for Stanford =[</p>

<p>tomjones, my roommate essay took about 20 minutes. i just wrote about the weirdest/most interesting thing about me. :P</p>

<p>okay at this point. i just wanna finish this essay and SUBMIT…</p>

<p>finished everything.
but my teachers have yet to do the recommendation forms… >:/</p>

<p>I submitted my Stanford supplement in Common App. but the logo besides Stanford is still yellow square… Hmm… Email confirmed that I sent it. weird.</p>

<p>Is it true that you can’t submit the Common App or supplements to colleges until the teacher/counselor writes the recommendation??</p>

<p>chinaman, i did the same thing. where did you find that other link?</p>

<p>and again…</p>

<p>i’m pretty sure #1 is no, they already have them, but i really don’t know #2…</p>

<ol>
<li><p>do we have to send our teacher rec’s to each school we ranked or did they already get them with the QB app?</p></li>
<li><p>how can we verify our faxes/mailed stuff was received?</p></li>
</ol>

<p>Guys can you still make multiple versions after you send the first time?</p>

<p>@tomjonesistheman</p>

<p>I submitted mine with only one teacher done with the recommendations.
I think it wouldn’t let you submit it if you don’t assign teachers for the recommendations.</p>

<p>@mia: On the cover sheet that we sent with the financial documents, there was a section that stated "Review the financial aid application checklist for prospective students on Penn’s Student Financial Services website at <a href="Submit My Documents If you click on that link, then select Prospective Undergraduate Students > U.S Citizens and Permanent Residents > Parents’ and Student’s 2008 federal income tax returns, all pages, schedules and W-2s > Cover Sheet/Tax I.D to get to that cover sheet. However, as you’ll notice when you click the links, the cover sheet is for the 2008 tax returns. This confuses me. </p>

<p>Also, when submitting ACT scores to ranked colleges, do I have to resubmit a score to a college after I already sent that score using a Free Score Choice Report? For example, I took the ACT with writing in October and September 2009. I used one of the four Free Score Choice Reports ACTstudent.org offers to send those scores to UPenn, my only ranked college. UPenn requests that I submit every ACT administration I ever took. Other than the October and September 2009 administrations, I took the ACT 4 other times. Should I submit only the 4 other ACT scores that I have never sent to UPenn or should I submit all of my ACT scores to UPenn?</p>

<p>chinaman, i see what you mean. the page isn’t updated. the checklist has deadlines like March 1, 2009. i don’t know, but it says not to send stuff more than once - no duplicates, so i think i’ll leave it as is. i just faxed my financial doc’s without the PFAS. the coversheet given was QB specific, so i think we’re fine… at least hope so. i’d call but i think they’re closed</p>

<p>chinaman - and i asked the same thing about act scores. the people who replied said no need to resend…</p>

<p>ok, so just to be 100% sure, I do not need to resubmit ACT scores I’ve already submitted to UPenn?</p>

<p>yeah, china. no need to resend. (according to other people on this)</p>

<p>any idea how to verify sent faxes were received?</p>

<p>@Ju_liaa: Yes, you can create multiple versions of the common app. Check out the help section of the common app :)</p>

<p>Ok, anyone else not sending official score reports to YALE? (Just using scores on transcript). I did that because I saw on the QB faq on the yale website that scores from the guidance counselor are okay. And, I emailed them asking, and they said yes, I was right, scores from the guidance counselor (reports or on transcript are okay). But, now, I’m sort of worrying. I don’t need to ask them again do I?</p>
