National College Match - 2009-2010

<p>Frustrations… aka rant</p>

<p>i actually emailed all 8 of my schools to ask if they received my materials. 2 replied and said they were still processing. 3 said yes. going to sign up for interviews now… i’m scared. lol 8 schools. that is, if i still can get one. i didn’t want to before but my friend convinced me that it was better. i hope it goes well. i was a finalist for a scholarship and received first after my interview but idk. i don’t really know what questions to ask about the colleges though. i’ll google it lol are interviews really that important???</p>

<p>btw, what are URMs and ORMs?</p>

<p>fb = BOWDOIN BABY! honestly, i’d be grateful to be matched anywhere, but i really want Bowdoin. i’m one of the few who only ranked LACs and not YSP. haha.</p>

<p>on monday, i had a quick convo with my stats/calc teacher in 2nd period…
him: so are you done? me: nope. him: what?! and you’re sitting in your seat doing work?! get on the computer RIGHT NOW and FINISH! don’t worry about your other classes. i’ll talk to the teachers…</p>

<p>awesome teach. i finished :slight_smile: lol</p>

<p>tomorrow i have to make up a quiz and get some notes, then i’m all caught up with schoolwork. much more left to do as hmwk. packets. packets. essaysss. packets. paradigm shifts blow.</p>

<p>thank you for reading :)</p>

<p>caltennis92, same. but i dont think we should worry. also, what are we doing about the css profile being submitted in december for notre dame??</p>

<p>URM = underrepresented minority</p>

<p>i want an interview from yale :(</p>

<p>gregb. i would give you mine for free if i can… :(</p>

<p>laestudiante: I’m going to reply to the email right now to see what they say</p>

<p>so what about decline to state people? i’m italian, greek, lebanese, and a bit irish = white, so i put decline to state. do i have a lower chance than if i just said white? :(</p>

<p>thanks btw :)</p>

<p>mia12. they’ll think you’re asian. what’s your last name? if its Young or Lee, you’re screwed. :P</p>

<p>haha no trust me. no one can figure it what i am from it or how i look. know i wish i didn’t tell you what it was to see what you would guess lol but will it hurt me, if asians are part of the ORM (i think)?</p>

<p>I’ve gotten confirmation from Vassar but no one else.</p>

<p>I really REALLY want an interview FROM ANY SCHOOL that I apply to. I hate (hate!) coming from an underrepresented state that’s one of the lowest in terms of education in America!!! </p>

<p>Should you ASK schools for interviews? Or must they only contact you?</p>

<p>do interviews really help? i’m about to click submit on a request off campus interview form…</p>

<p>i’ve gotten confirmation from stanford and yale (via the sudden interview request o_o)</p>

<p>MIT, Princeton…nothing.</p>

<p>crystal91, be GLAD you’re not from NY (ugh) or Cali, it helps a lot to be from…Iowa.</p>

<p>Mia, GL!</p>

<p>most hilarious thing ever. i googled my own name and found a fb user with my exact name. except it’s like some 20 yo emo asian GIRL. LOL.</p>

<p>code h, could you please please post your confirmation email form yale… im… well, im actually crazy about yale and not getting this email is basically really worrying me :(</p>

<p>hey guys, did anyone rank princeton as one of the schools? i know on the site it said “Princeton’s QuestBridge finalists will receive a paper copy financial aid application in early November. Finalists should complete and return those applications to the Princeton Financial Aid Office no later than November 13” so did anyone actually receive this yet.
please let me know…ahhh
@code H, when did you submit everything? im just ying to see if i might get an interview too or w/e
THANSK:D</p>

<p>laes: i got a confirmation from stanford. when i said yale confirmation, i mean that a yale alum contacted me for an interview, essentially completing my application to them since he was ‘assigned’ to me by the office.</p>

<p>blah: i got all my Yale materials in by like Oct/29. </p>

<p>but i am from NYC, the land of all college interviewers. lol.</p>

<p>code: ugh…lucky. im from florida…but like couple of my friends who did EA got a date for interviews already.</p>

<p>Buhh all my stuff is postmarked by the 30th, at the latest. I live in northern NJ, so I’m kind of an okay area for interviews.</p>
