National College Match - 2009-2010

<p>i am hesitating on sending in my app even though i am done. o_o</p>

<p>guys…i made a boo-boo…i submitted the supplement application for williams college…and now they think I’m an ED applicant. I emailed admissions to fix the problem, that i want to be a QB Finalist applicant…any advice?</p>

<p>HELP!!!
okay, so my css profile is in but under one of my schools-date sent or sched to be sent, it says 12/07/2009 and the explanation for this “Some colleges and scholarship programs request that the College Board delay sending student PROFILE reports until the date they specify. A report of your information has been, or will be, sent to the following colleges or programs on the indicated dates. Some colleges and programs choose to receive your information electronically. Those colleges and programs will receive your data according to the schedule they have requested, which can be as early as the next business day after submission.”</p>

<p>but since im applying to qb they need to have this in by nov 2nd. but i put in the right codes and everything and there’s nothing i can do on my side to make it arrive sooner, right?? WHAT DO I DOOOOOOOOOOOO?</p>

<p>Good morning everyone! I’m happy to say that I received my MyPenn Portal ID! However, I have a question concerning one of the outstanding application materials I have. There is a “N” next to the counselor recommendation status. I assume that this means that UPenn has not received a counselor recommendation. However, there is a “Y” next to the 2 teacher recommendations status. I assume that this means that UPenn has received my two teacher recommendations. If i sent both teacher recommendations and the counselor recommendation to Questbridge and if Questbridge sent the entire application to UPenn, then why does UPenn not have my counselor recommendation? Does UPenn require another counselor recommendation or have they just not processed it yet?</p>

<p>you GUYS: i need to send in a transcript from a local college where i’ve taken a class. but it’ll take them 10 business days or longer to even process it!! AHHHH! i emailed all my QB schools about this but they aren’t responding?!!!</p>

<p>for the penn financial aid supplement,
do we check off early decision or regular decision?
i’m thinking regular, but i’m just making sure.
and also - what is 100% remission or 75% remission?</p>

<p>chinaman - i think that the "no"s for that…
are not updated probably…
because they don’t need extra teacher/secondary school recommendations
they only need the ones we originally sent to questbridge
and you wouldn’t be picked for a finalist @ questbridge if you didn’t have your recommendations would you?
hehe, so i think you’re fine. :)</p>

<p>@chinaman545: I think it’s like that for everyone because my notices are the same thing. I don’t think we need to worry about it.</p>

<p>And I’m not sure if i check off early decision or regular admission.</p>

<p>@Code H
Why didn’t you request the transcripts earlier? Did you not list them on your QB app but decide to send it last minute? In this case, the college class wouldn’t be considered during the process.
I was in the same situation so I requested my college transcripts in early October and sent them as soon as finalist status was announced.</p>

<p>Code H, punch the button. You’ll be sorry if you wait until the last minute. Then get out of the house and have some fun!</p>

<p>@CodeH: It’ll be hard for colleges to respond because even their office hours aren’t open over the weekend. And they’re slow…I know because I think as soon as they open an inbox from me, they’ll see a gazillion emails…</p>

<p>Oh! And happy Halloween guys</p>

<p>I’m not sure whether or not my counselor sent my transcript along with her secondary school report (she’s been gone for a few days), so I want to send Stanford a hard copy by mail.
Does anyone know which address I am supposed to send it to?</p>

<p>yea so common app and supplements are due tomorrow night right?</p>

<p>ughhh…still trying to edit essays. this will never end.</p>

<p>Have any of you done a “chance me” thread for QB applicant to the schools that you matched? I dunno if that’s ever been done before…I’m relatively new on this forum…</p>

<p>I’ve been through my Columbia application about five times and I still can’t bring myself to just submit it already!</p>

<p>QUESTION: If selected as a finalist for QB, does this mean that the QuestBridge people find you to be a good candidate for your ranked colleges? Or does rank not play a part in any part of this process?</p>

<p>Please answer me this question:
As soon as I know I’m a Finalist, I requested my college transcript(at a local community college) to be sent to the ranked colleges immediately. However, I could only request 2 transcripts to be sent everyday, and the community college was closed for 2 days this week due to a snow storm. Therefore, it will take the transcripts more than 20 days to arrive at my eight ranked colleges.</p>

<p>What should I do in this situation? Should I call the colleges to explain? This transcript is the only evidence I can use to show the colleges that I can handle college-level courses because I took only one AP exam last year, and the AP score did not appear on my transcript</p>

<p>Here’s what I would do: Send an e-mail to the school explaining briefly the issue and then attach a scanned copy of the transcript with a note that the official transcript from the college will follow.</p>

<p>@spiritualwitch: Rank doesn’t play a part in the Questbridge Finalist status. Remember, some finalists decided not to even do the college match scholarship remember? Opting for RD instead.</p>

<p>Hmm 3 questions…</p>

<ol>
<li><p>My parents use TurboTax… how does this affect how I’m going to send financial aid stuff?</p></li>
<li><p>On the CSS, do I say that we file 1040? or 1040a / 1040EZ?</p></li>
<li><p>PENN financial aid: some people were talking about how we wait until AFTER november 2nd to receive ID numbers and whatnot. However I got that from Penn already in an email. What was that whole ordeal about?</p></li>
</ol>

<p>Thanks and good luck to everyone :)</p>
