<p>Geez, MIT is really consideration with its applicants…First, it was one of the earliest schools to offer interviews (well, in New York and Michigan at least, not here…) and now it apparently calls people…</p>
<p>I didn’t rank MIT, but I wish other schools can do that.</p>
<p>MIT called me like October 27th, making sure I understood the entire process. They are quite considerate.</p>
<p>Do you think 60% or so finalists will be accepted to partner schools this year? (That’s probably only hope I see right now…) </p>
<p>ummm last year about 200-300 matches were made out of 2470 finalists… o_o</p>
<p>i’m not a religious man, but i’m praying that the 60% holds…</p>
<p>@Code H
I know. but combine who got matched and accepted by RD. That’s about 60% (2007 stat)</p>
<p>off topic… maybe interesting to you guys…</p>

<p>top 100 best value private colleges. no bowdoin. 
but for you guys applying to PYS, look at the average debt incurred by students once they graduate. S has the lowest. something to look forward to</p>
<p>But that’s the AVERAGE debt for all of students with different income backgrounds. All of the QB colleges dont put loans in the financial aid package for QB finalists. And most of them remove loans from FA packages for normal students(those cannot get matched and have to apply RD) whose families make under 60k/year. That’s the only thing we should consider. (The partner colleges, however, still expect the students to work to contribute 2-5k to their expenses every year. So unless you want to work in your college years, you have to take out loans.)</p>
<p>yes but not everyone here does make below 60k with typical assets. and not everyone will get accepted to QB schools. </p>
<p>plus, a lot of people, that i know at least, are applying to schools other than QB schools & considering the average stats of finalists, i doubt they’re going to end up at a cc. it’s just for reference.</p>
<p>and your last statement might be where the debt comes in… my friend goes to trinity in san an and actually likes work-study b/c he has it at the library. his words “i’m being paid to study!”</p>
<p>EDIT: i just saw this… why is sex and cupcake tagged?</p>
<p>yale interview TOMORROW. again, an interview with almost NO prior warning…ugh…</p>
<p>@mia12: I wondered the same thing. As far as I can tell, cupcake has never been mentioned, neither has sex, unless in terms of gender.</p>
<p>good luck code H! knock em dead!</p>
<p>well, maybe not completely dead. that may look bad…</p>
<p>spiritualwitch: will you be my ADD buddy?! 
lol</p>
<p>They’re both used to relieve stress, and stress is what we have in abundance in this thread…? I don’t know, haha.</p>
<p>Oooh I just got a message from a Columbia alumnus. Just your standard, probably automated “oh hey, I see you’ve applied to us, so I’ll tell you about myself and inspire you” type message. Still, it’s something.</p>
<p>kurone: HAHAHA! I LOVE IT. it should be our motto</p>
<p>For regular decision forwarding, for the schools that I ranked, but don’t get into by the match (probably all of them), do I need to resend trancsripts? I emailed the schools, but 2/5 of them just said, you don’t have to resubmit the application, look at the website blah blah blah. TOO BAD I LOOKED AT HTE WEBSITE AND IT SAYS OFFICIAL TRANSCIRPTS AS ONE OF THE REQUIREMENTS!!! But, it doesn’t make sense at all, and the schools that did email me a good answer, basicallyt went against their statement on the website. GEEZZZZZZ!!! For ivy leagues, these schools are pretty freaking dumb. GOD the only school that clarified this under its requirements was U of Chicago. Ok, rant over.</p>
<p>I keep having to convincing my mom that nobody else got the Princeton financial stuff in the mail yet because she’s seriously freaking out… The thing is, in my city, the postal service keeps messing up. We get so many bizarre mails from our neighbors and we have to give them back… Unfortunately, we’re completely alienated from our neighbors and they all are so rude… I doubt they’d return the favor of giving OUR mail back to us.</p>
<p>Somebody promise me that first thing they get something from Princeton, tell me?? thanks!</p>
<p>np crystal! I’ll be sure to post it on here/pm you as soon as I get it</p>
<p>Is anyone else getting applications ready for non-QB schools for regular decision? </p>
<p>Please match with me P or S!!!</p>
<p>I used an online fax service to fax my financial documents, got confirmations from the service, but none from the school? Should I be worried? I faxed them 6 days ago.</p>
<p>im getting really nervous about this whole process. i just want to get matched >,<
good luck to everyone else!!!
can someone pm me if they get the princeton material?</p>
