<p>laestudiante, I say go forward. A lot can change between now and the spring. And a full ride at Stanford might be enough to change your parents’ minds. 
Maybe not, but if you close that door now it won’t be an option come spring.</p>
<p>I mailed in my Financial Documents, but I forgot to put my full name and Questbridge on each document. Should I mail them in again…? :(</p>
<p>Well frankly, if you get into Stanford and they still say no, you’ll have a full ride - you won’t need them for anything. Go anyway. Then again, I am vehemently against “parental control.” My mom also told me no California, no way (not as seriously as yours though) but she hasn’t helped me so far and can’t help me pay for it, so I am doing what I want to do.</p>
<p>Yeah exactly, I agree with applicannot ^</p>

If your name and stuff is on the cover sheet and you wrote something to make yourself identifiable, it should be fine. I think if they’re missing something, they’ll contact you. If you mail in again, it might confuse them.</p>
<p>yeah i wrote in my name on my coversheet. Thanks.</p>
<p>Hey guys. My teachers submitted their recs through the mail. I’ve read things about people that cannot submit their common apps because their teachers have not submitted online. My teachers have not done their recs online, so does this apply to me?</p>
<p>@mister Lack of recommendations shouldn’t effect submission unless the college has set their preferences to require them prior to CA and Supp submission. If you can nail your teachers to a computer and get them to log in and record their paper preferences, then you should be good to go.</p>
<p>Anyone else unable to get into the CSS thingy?</p>
<p>I have the same question about whether we can reuse QB essays for the Princeton supp essay. I don’t know if it’s weakness or good logic, but I reasoned that because the supp is part of the entire common app for Princeton, then what they said on the qb site about it being okay to reuse essays applies to the supp as well.</p>
<p>To compromise, I’m going to reuse an essay, but modify it enough so that it fluidly integrates the quote, as opposed to just sticking a quote in at the top.</p>
<p>Sound good, guys?</p>
<p>I’m done with my early apps and pretty exhausted :)</p>
<p>I have 2 questions… :]</p>
<p>1 - My parents use TurboTax… how does this affect how I’m going to send financial aid stuff? On the CSS, do I say that we file 1040? or 1040a / 1040EZ? (we technically do neither of them, I guess…)</p>
<p>2 - Can I apply to UMich priority deadline? (The deadline is today and it guarantees an admissions decision by Dec 24. It’s not ED or restrictive or binding or anything)</p>
<p>Thanks and good luck once again. I still have to take care of the Columbia app and my Stanford supplement, as well as going through the common app and making sure everything looks good. Then I also have to mail/fax financial stuff and transcripts… :/</p>
<p>I asked QB about Maryland’s priority deadline, and they said it was fine. They don’t count as early action/early decision.</p>
<p>SUBMITTED.</p>
<p>i almost cried when i pressed submit on my Princeton supplement.</p>
<p>best of luck everyone. now we wait.</p>
<p>kuronue: exactly what i did. i tried to use my QB essays for princeton supplement. but modifying it to fit the prompt.</p>
<p>best of luck!</p>
<p>WAIT, where do we assign teachers? I went to school forms and it just gives me a list of forms. Do we even have to assign teachers to common app if they sent it in through the mail?</p>
<p>driscol: ok thanks</p>
<p>misterwang: it sounds like your school uses naviance, which means that the common app changed the way teacher rec’s work for you. if your teachers sent in the forms with paper, I think you should me fine. if I were you though, I would email commonapp and/or questbridge to verify. but again I think you’re fine.</p>
<p>Alright I have another question.</p>
<p>Who is ranking Stanford?</p>
<p>Stanford says on [this</a> page](<a href=“http://questbridge.org/cmp/college_reqs/stanford.html"]this”>QuestBridge) to “Please include your Common Application ID number on all forms.”</p>
<p>I’m submitting the common app online and so are my teachers/counselor. does that tidbit apply to me? do I have to apply that to the financial documents as well?</p>
<p>What are you stanford people doing for that? thanks</p>
<p>2 of my teachers still did not finish my Stanford recommendations…</p>
<p>Hopefully, either they submit it on time or Stanford gives me some grace period… Nerve-wrecking.</p>
<p>(Thankfully, finished everything on my part… I will be REALLY happy even if I get accepted from RD process…)</p>
<p>why oh why is stanford so picky about everything. first they want mailing labels and now this… o_o, well i’ve sent in everything already, so whatever.</p>
<p>UGH, my stupid local college is going to take 2 weeks to send my QB schools the transcript. i emailed the QB schools and they aren’t even replying to my email. ■■■.</p>
<p>kuronue, i just reused my essay. princeton doesnt see your QB app, so it doesn’t even matter. And if they did, I doubt they’d want to read like 5 essays you wrote.
geoff: I haven’t been able to adjust anything since two nights ago. I can log in, but as soon as I click anything, it times out and logs me off.</p>
<p>P.S. i am not the only one who didn’t do mailing labels/common app ID for stanford…right? o_o</p>
