<p>for those of you whose stanford materials ahve been confirmed by stanford, did you check regular admission on the envelopes? Did you write questbridge on them?</p>
<p>I’ve tried look for last year’s QuestBridge thread but I can’t find it =(
Can someone please post the link??? =)</p>
<p>Oh darn it, I already sent in my 2008 tax return to Princeton. Oh well, maybe they can ignore that. </p>
<p>And Ju_liaa, your chance is NOT gone, lol, just because you didn’t get an email from Yale about an interview. Crazy things are happening…</p>

<p>Here’s the link for last years thread. We’ve almost beat it for the number of pages :D.</p>
<p>My worst experience in an interview would probably be the interview with MIT. First, I was 20 min late (navigation problems). I could have died that day with a phone in my hand and a touch screen navigation in the other. 4/5 of the time i was looking at the nav while driving on New Jersey’s worst highways (what was i thinking). It was 4:50 and i new i was going to be late. I broke down. Not crying. But just whining at the stupidity i had relying on a gps. (BTW, I am a guy so it was pretty funny remembering how i was like freaking out and whining) LOL anyway. I arrive and the lady was more nervous than I was. I ended up asking more questions than she did. I found out more about her than the college. It was pretty hilarious. After every sentence, I apologized for being late, so redundant. Then thank god at the end, she was like its ok you being late WONT go in the report. I was like phew. Then she said “The point of the interview was for you to learn more about MIT and…”. Then I interrupted ever so witty and said “… and for MIT to know for sure that i am sane.” And then she said, " I would have written that if you actually were SANE!" LOOOOOL She didnt laugh but i am 90 percent sure she was joking. On top of that, my shirt was too tight, i just felt it, she kept looking down at my shirt. It was horrible. Funny, interesting, and a great experience.</p>
<p>stanford ppl? any response? if it says theyve received all of your materials, did you mark regular decision or write questbridge on them?</p>
<p>:note to self: wear tight-fitting t-shirt that shows off my pecs at the next college interview with a female alum: ;)</p>
<p>anyways…you guys I am really worried about something…</p>
<p>so I really want to get into Princeton (ranked it 1st)…but the thing is, I went to Harvard SSP this past summer, and I talked about Harvard in my summer essay (there was no way to avoide those 7 weeks…)…In addition, one of my ECs is sailing…and Cambridge/Boston is awesome for that (Charles River!)…certainly better than Princeton, NJ…I also never got to mention in my application that I love Princeton or that I’ve been in contact with a student there…</p>
<p>I feel like Princeton will think “this kid will probably apply to Harvard even if we match him, and he probably wants to go to Harvard more…so why should we waste a Match spot for him?” (I think schools have to pay QB for every Match they make?)</p>
<p>Granted, I’ll most likely be rejected because my application is not strong enough, and not because of this…but still, ugh. 
:(</p>
<p>P.S. i know i was very fortunate to have been given that opportunity, and i hope that i am not being too whiny about all of this…</p>
<p>hey was wrong wit New Joyzee! No i dont talk like that i swear. Its a myth. Yeah but whats wrong with it? Huh? Dont worry, you dont have to explain, I know whats wrong with it.</p>
<p>natim, ds didn’t write anything on the envelope. And he didn’t use a label because there wasn’t one that was applicable for the financial aid stuff he was sending, IIRC. He wrote Questbridge on the inside pages, per the instructions. The LORs and stuff were sent well before the Nov. 2 deadline, even before the Oct. 23 notification, I think, so there weren’t labels on any of that stuff either. Stanford shows that it has all his materials.</p>
<p>He called his other schools today to make sure they had his materials. One had everything, one didn’t. But both schools were very nice. I think admission offices hear “QB” and cut y’all some slack. :)</p>
<p>Age old problem: what happens when two QuestBridge schools accept you, but a non-binding one is higher? What happens to your admission status at the other one? Will they simply accept you again in March/April? Will you never find out?</p>
<p>I don’t think you find out unless you apply RD.</p>
<p>Do you think colleges look at first quarter grades?</p>
<p>Also, Would it be too late to send in October scores?</p>
<p>Stanford still has not received the two teacher recs sent in beginning of October. The e-mail status reply states they don’t process regular decision applicants stuff until late November. Does this mean the application is considered reg dec. and will not get processed through the match? They have received everything else and I’m pretty sure their mailing labels were on everything(marked reg.dec.) including teacher recs, but I can’t remember. Getting worried and not sure who to e-mail.</p>
<p>^ SAME. ugh…</p>
<p>I called. Stanford says not to worry. They have a list. (i take this to mean they will sift through the pile for your stuff?)</p>
<p>ok! thanks crystal!</p>
<p>If not matched by Yale, do finalists who ranked Yale have to send common application and all? Last year’s QB thread says that those who ranked Yale will be in RD pool</p>
<p>also, is it normal for QB students to have different interviewers than non QB students?</p>
<p>Thanks, crystal91. I am not going to check Stanford anymore since it just makes me aggravated.</p>
