National College Match - 2009-2010

<p>Don’t freak out that they need nine essays; make note that at the top of the paper app, it says to use only the space provided and that any overflow will not be considered. So it’s like two paragraphs for each prompt, and I think the last one is only for people who aren’t in high school.</p>

<p>Edit: I’ve actually been lurking here since September, even though I only joined a couple of days ago. This thread helped me so much with all the questions I had for applying to QuestBridge, and it continues to help me with the stuff we have to do now, and I really appreciate it. Specifically, I really admire GA2012MOM for being so involved and informative about this whole process. Your guidance has been a godsend :)</p>

<p>HELP!
For some reason i can’t submit my Common app for Stanford. The following message pops up every time I try to submit and I went back a million times to make sure that I filled in the right bubble. What should I do???</p>

<p>In order to submit the Common Application, you must answer all required questions. Keep in mind that some questions become required based on your response to a previous question. Below is a list of fields you still need to complete.</p>

<p>Page Question
Future Plans Stanford University: ‘Need-based financial aid:’ is a required field.</p>

<p>hey guys, i know it’s kinda late, but i’ve decided not to send in my app for stanford… my family’s pretty hard-core about not allowing me to go to the west coast… and at this pt., it’s too late for me to write my two others essays.</p>

<p>but my question is, am i required to tell the schools about this earlier??? im afraid itll jeopardize my standing at the other schools i ranked… :frowning: PLEASE HELP!</p>

<p>TO TELL STANFORD / qb**?
STANFORD IS 3RD ON MY LIST.</p>

<p>You don’t have to tell them estudiante. The other schools/ QB won’t know that you didn’t send stuff in to Stanford. You simply won’t be considered at Stanford.</p>

<p>@laestudiante: I wanted to do the same thing with Bowdoin so I asked QB and they sent me a link to a form to fill out to withdraw your QB application from a college. It will not jeopardize anything with your QB application for other colleges at all! I was sooo relieved to see that I wouldn’t violate my match agreement by wanting to withdraw an application!

<p>Stanford just sent me a CommonApp Confirmation Email :)</p>

<p>Go to “My Colleges”
Select Stanford
go to the “Future Plans” section
check YES for “will apply for need-based financial aid”</p>

<p>Hey guys. I’m so excited because I’m literally one question to being done with this whole QB process. On the PFAS, there is a question that asks how much state and local income taxes my parents have paid. According to my parents’ tax returns, they itemize. The question states that if my parents itemize, then I need to refer to the 1040 Schedule A to get the information needed to fill out the question. However, my parents don’t have that Schedule A! They must have had it at some point or another to itemize but there is no Schedule A to be found. What should I do to figure out this number? It’s all I need to finish the PFAS.</p>

<p>Thank you so much, it worked!</p>

<p>anyone having this problem accessing the UPenn Financial Aid?</p>

<p>You are not allowed to access the page ‘chooseForm.jsp’, if you are a member of another Group which is allowed, please select that Group. Restart the application
(server: bennythebum) </p>

<p>Please help if you knw how to get out of it. BTW when’s the penn financial aid due?</p>

<p>chinaman, I believe it’s also on line 56 of the 1040 form. The CSS profile pretty much asked the same thing, and directed me to that.</p>

<p>It’s 9:50 here on the East Coast, and I am unofficially done with everything (Princeton’s Financial Aid Supplement), I practically walked into my post office on 4:59 (it closes at 5:00) and mailed my CD portfolio for Parsons. I took off from school just to finish it. I felt so guilty but it payed off. Is anyone else done here. I feel sooo good. When is match day. Too layz to look it up.</p>

<p>I finished my princeton supplement like ten minutes ago. It definitely feels very good, like the proverbial weight lifting off of my shoulders. However, no rest for me; I have SAT IIs on Saturday to study for, then I need to apply to all my safety/same-level schools D: Thankfully, those subjects are easy to study for, and I have wayyy more time to apply for this round.</p>

<p>omg thats so funny, I just finished my Princeton Supp like ten minutes ago too. I dont know i just kept pushing it off, and doing requirements for school i had a chance at. WHen i finished everything else, I decided to do the Princeton Supp.</p>

<p>Ok, so for regular decision forwarding, if I want to apply RD to the schools I ranked but didn’t get into (quite possibly all of them), do I need to resubmit teacher recs, transcripts, etc?</p>

<p>and oh yeah, for anyone who ranked notre dame, they don’t get the css until dec 7…should i ask them about that?</p>

<p>WOOOOOOOO just submitted common app and supplements to Stanford and Princeton. But I don’t feel relieved…12/1 here we come…
Does anyone else have a technical issue on the common app? I got confirmation emails for all, but for some reason, my Stanford supplement still has a yellow arrow next to it (though it says Submitted…)</p>

<p>@tomjonesistheman</p>

<p>I had the same problem with the supplement. I wouldn’t worry about the arrow. It acted weird for me as well</p>

<p>==================</p>

<p>I finished writing a letter explaining my error on CSS Profile Business Supplement. Should I sign it just to make it look more professional?</p>

<p>Phew! It feels great to be finally done with everything. I just want to give a big thanks to everyone here and for this thread because I would have never been able to do this without you guys. Now its time to play the waiting game. Good luck everyone and lets hope that we get those early Christmas gifts this year.</p>
