National College Match - 2009-2010

<p>Uhhh! Stanford still hasn’t processed any of the stuff that I mailed in, and I used mailing labels! Maybe it’s because you check off “regular decision” on the mailing labels…But I did write QuestBridge on them… Gah.</p>

<p>Ok hi everyone. i just registered on CC and I have afew questions. I am a finalist and I’m trying to access the online UPenn form, but it has some error going on and i can’t access it. Also, I sent my scores rushed services because I had no clue I had to send the scores right after I got a letter saying I made finalist. But Columbia is saying that I shouldn’t do rush because they won’t be able to process the paper form collegeboard sends when in rush service. Help please.</p>

<p>Also, who ever had the Yale interview, please tell me more about it. I have mine coming up next tuesday.</p>

<p>I dont think they wrote questbridge on them…because they didn’t tell us to! aghhh!</p>

<p>I’m not going to call. You call. I’ve already called them twice about other things</p>

<p>Does anybody have Princeton or Stanford interviews? Also, for Yale, do they recall you if you’re not home when they call the first time? My parents don’t speak English, and I’m busy most days afterschool, so they could have called. I a;so live in New York City, which is like full of college interviewers.</p>

<p>^ you’re in NYC. me too</p>

<p>i got an interview email last wed.</p>

<p>princeton said they’re no interviewing on the QB website, dk about stanford.</p>

<p>@natim: I called everyday and waited…and waited…to the machine music… and then, about about an hour, hung up and cried in the corner. </p>

<p>Just kidding. But seriously, I can never reach Stanford.</p>

<p>Stanford is just ~inaccessible~ like that. ;)</p>

<p>Do you think I should schedule a Yale interview on campus? I live 5 min away, and they haven’t called me yet.</p>

<p>!!!</p>

<p>i haven’t semd princeton the Financial Aid stuff yet!!! :(</p>

<p>Darn you guys have gotten emails about Yale interviews? I haven’t yet, and i live in NY T_T </p>

<p>There goes my shot</p>

<p>me too, i havnt done PFAA. has anyone else received an email from Columbia stating that we did not apply under regular decision asking if we wanted them to change it to regular or keep it on early and drop out of questbridge. i could have sworn I applied under regular because i knew of this requirment. Who knows. It was very nice of them for asking. i would expect an ivy just to throw out my whole file and say “idiot can’t follow directions”. LOL</p>

<p>haha, I worry about that everyday. They’ll find the most minuscule of mistakes on my app and just toss the whole thing out because ivy leaguers simply do not make such mistakes :P</p>

<p>LOL I dont know which i am more anxious about. SAT scores coming out on Nov 24, or Questbridge results on December 1st. hmmmmm this is a no brainer. QUESTBRIDGE. Well atleast im waiting for 2 different things at one time. I hate waiting for ONE thing.</p>

<p>YOU GUYS HAVE TO TRY THIS. go to last years forum for Questbridge. Look through all the posts and see all the tension building up and the anxiety until the first person gets their results back. And then they all start to getting their results. Its very entertaining that it foreshadows what will happen to us but at the same time it is sad to see all the people getting denied. Watch, I will be the one to get refused and then next years forum for Questbridge will be like “look at shaobsh’s post and how he really did get refused, its so sad, he foretold his destiny” I could go on with the paradox, but there is no need to be annoying because then you guys will just hate me. There is a fine line between entertaining, and annoying. Like Constantly Risking Absurdity, I have to make sure I stay on the line of what people like and create a “poem” that is very beautiful for the audience that is watching my circus performance. LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL</p>

<p>haha, i read through it before.
I just hope that this year everyone has the decency to maintain composure irregardless of the decisions unlike previous years -_-</p>

<p>@gregb: irregardless is not a word; the ir- is redundant (it’s just ‘regardless’) :D</p>

<p>Anyway…I am almost relieved not to get a call for an interview (I live in Grove City, just outside of Columbus; last year, the valedictorian got an interview from Yale at a Starbucks in Grove City so I don’t consider it impossible to get an interview here). I just don’t know what I would talk about or what I would say and I’m much better at writing than I am at trying to explain things.</p>

<p>@shaobsh I looked at last years forums and AHHHH it just makes me even more nervous haha. It was great to see that a lot of people from CC got the scholarship. Last year’s forum makes QB seems so much more real than it is right now, you know? Like in about 3 weeks or so, some of us are going to be going to college for…FREE. I just find it insane :P</p>

<p>@everyone Is it bad that I really hope I don’t get an interview? I just feel like I’m going to screw up or something and ruin my chances :confused: I wish the schools could have secret people that saw me throughout the day to get a better understanding of who I was…but wait…that might be stalking… :)</p>

<p>Idk. Anyone have any good/bad interview experiences for QB colleges (or any) they wanna share?</p>

<p>ahhh and spiritual watch I just read your post! I completely agree with you :/. I just feel like I’d be under pressure and wouldn’t be able to act normal or express myself the way I normally do. Rawrr.</p>

<p>I talked to Princeton’s FA department a couple of hours ago, and they said that you DO NOT have to submit a 2008 tax return with your PFAA. They do want a 2009 return, but that’s due in March of next year.</p>
