<p>Regarding PFAS for upenn, am I suppose to put early decision or regular decision? Because on the top of the box, it says "Please submit application to Student Financial Services by these dates: "</p>
<p>So I really want to go to the college I ranked as first. Do you guys know if its alright to put a “why __ university” essay in the additional info of common app? Like would there be any implications?</p>
<p>i think we should post our stats and school ranks if ppl are comfortable</p>
<p>Immortal, if you’re a questbridge finalist I would recommend not doing that. They’re already looking at three of your essays (four if you dont reuse any of your QB essays for the common app). I think in additional info they really aren’t looking forward for an essay. Just my opinion :)</p>
<p>@gregb: Why don’t you start?</p>
<p>oh 1 last thing. i’ve had several miscellaneous awards and attenedd student conferences (NCSMSSST)…should i even bother putting these on the common app?</p>
<p>in 9th grade, i was finalist for a national science essay competition or something…idkk, where do i put this?</p>
<p>i am already using the additioanl info. section to clarify several of my ECs…</p>
<p>also, in the Honors section of the Academics part of the CommonApp, can we put awards we’ve won in writing competitions, etc?</p>
<p>if none of these awards are essential to my app, should I just leave them out?</p>
<p>Wait how come the Upenn status page says that they haven’t received my counselor recs or teacher recs? Is this suppose to be like this? And at the top, it says I’m a regular decision applicant and a non-financial aid candidate? Is everyone’s status like this? And for the financial aid supplement, do we put regular decision or early decision?</p>

<p>I ranked: Yale, Princeton, and Stanford.</p>
<p>I have no clue what to do… I’ve ranked Princeton and Stanford, have sent in my scores/css/documents but I’m not sure if my Common App and Supplements are up to par. We can’t change our applications once we submit it to these colleges, right? Do you think it’s viable for me to just not send in my Common App and still be considered for RD? I think I have a very low chance of being matched, regardless.</p>

<p>good luck :)</p>
<p>@ib612: depends on what you mean my ‘good’.</p>
<p>around the stats of kangaroo, gregb, codeH, and tomjones</p>
<p>I wouldnt be surprised if they all got QB matches</p>
<p>If everyone here has such high stats, where are the people that lower the average QB finalist SAT score to 1930?</p>
<p>wait guys, im confused. i thought the deadline for common app and supplements is also monday night nov 2nd. how’d it change to midnight tomorrow?</p>
