<p>chiyoske- yes you need to submit the common application and yale supplement but you do not need to submit LOR again at least.</p>
<p>I looked at the thread for 2008 and I got nervous just reading about other people’s nervousness on Dec. 1, haha. Isn’t that silly?</p>
<p>@crystal: Not silly at all…22 days to go…I’m gonna die…too. much. anxiety.</p>
<p>code h, when you say “summer essay” are you referring to the prompt fr the supp about what we did the past 2 summers? bc honestly, i wrote no longer than a paragraph. now you’re making me nervous :).
how’d it become an essay for you??</p>
<p>cryastal, im reading the posts from last year too. im having a panic attack over it…so i dont think i can handle the pressure and stuff on dec 1 this year.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH</p>
<p>Yeah, note to others: DON’T read the 2008 thread. Depressing. I told ds about it, and he said, “Don’t worry, mom.” It was sweet. I guess it was a good reality check at least.</p>
<p>laestudiante…o_o…i had to cut it down to fit the character limit…basically, i morphed my QB intellectual concept essay (which had to do with the summer school program…how convenient! lol) into the summer experience essay…i also mentioned some fun things that i did…i EXPLOITED that character limit :P</p>
<p>p.s. i did that cause apparently someone said that princeton doesn’t look at our QB app, which includes those 3 essays…</p>
<p>code and laestudiente, i did essay for the princeton supplement as well. i did a lot of camps, conferences, and competitions for math and business, and so i just talked about that.</p>
<p>code h, are you serious aobut no QB app? those are my best essays >,<</p>
<p>i’m gonna send my Princeton FA express via mail (lol, paranoid!) on wednesday. </p>
<p>and then i’m gonna fax a copy of it to their office on thursday…</p>
<p>idk…that’s why i reused my QB essays…my summer essay was so cramped…my first draft was like 500 characters over the limit, lol…</p>
<p>My summer wasn’t filled with math competitions, camps, and summer school like you guys… It was filled with volunteer and work… mostly a list of what I just did…and at the very end, I was like “And despite my seemingly busy summer, I always reserve time for my friends!” Ah, now I feel elementary in my writing of it.</p>
<p>DON’T. i talked about my summer program, research (focused on WHY i did the research (i studied vision, and did so because vision problems run in my family)…since my app isn’t science/math centered…), and a lot of descriptions of volunteer work…</p>
<p>my last line was about saluting the dutch royalty when they visited NYC. lol :P</p>
<p>in fact. i feel like i should’ve talk more about having fun, lol</p>
<p>Is it weird that both stanford and princeton say my SAT/SAT II scores have yet to be received/processed, even though I ordered them on Oct. 23? On the Collegeboard website, it says the scores were sent on Nov. 6, but it’s still kind of irritating that it’s taking so long to complete such a simple task.</p>
<p>aceking92: that’s weird… collegeboard says my scores were sent on Oct 27, and I ordered them around the time you did. Also, Stanford says that they received my scores. (I didn’t rank princeton)</p>
<p>maybe you should email stanford? anyone else having that problem?</p>
<p>also, stanford has received all of my stuff except transcript. penn still shows N for counselor recommendation, transcript, signature…</p>
<p>should I be concerned?</p>
<p>penn people… what are you guys missing?</p>
<p>EDIT: just saw that flying llama. i’m missing the signature and rec and the fee waiver is pending… they got my transcript though.</p>
<p>i’m wondering the same thing as you</p>
<p>I ordered/sent out my SAT scores on the 29th, when they came out. CB sent them on the 6th, and MIT just processed them today. None of my other colleges have though. I expect they will within a week.</p>
<p>Hi all, just got back from 5 days at D’s school for Family Weekend. Glanced through the last pages, just a few thoughts. Regarding interviews, don’t sweat it if you havent’ got one. It is at the time descretion of the alumni interviewer that the school sent your name to. </p>
<p>Questbridge will call you if you are matched, not through an e-mail. Make sure you answer any phone number that day. I almost didn’t answer the phone call because I was looking for one from the area code that QB is in, and it wasn’t. It was from a Texas cell phone, I assume the personal cell of the QB staffer that called her. </p>
<p>Also I saw a post saying how people were “less than kind” so to speak to some match recipients. My D was the recipient of some unkind remarks when she was matched. While she could have cared less, I was hurt as a mom that others who were her “peers” that went through the entire QB process would say cruel things. I hope this year that the QB finalists will be gracious, whether they match or not.</p>
<p>Hope everybody is doing great. Don’t forget to start backup plans. Start your other apps and scholarships.
Gates and the Ron Brown scholarship for those of you who those are eligible.</p>
<p>Good Luck.</p>
<p>Uhh… I’m kinda worried about my supplement after I read what you guys wrote. I wrote about working during the summer and how I played basketball with Caron Butler, NBA player for the wizards. Also I talked about Governor’s school. I dunno if these are good enough…Plus I only wrote 2 paragraphs, but still used up 2500 characters. AHHHHH i dont think im gonna make it… I have interview today so nervous im gonna go crazy!! </p>
<p>Can anyone tell me if the QB colleges look at 1st quarter grades?! Also I just sent in my October scores yesterday!! I think im so behind. </p>
<p>Anyone doing Upenn, do you guys know what’s up with the financial aid website? It keeps saying weird stuff and won’t let me in. It’s also saying that my application signature isn’t there. What is it?!</p>
<p>QB schools won’t look at your senior grades for the match process.</p>
<p>yay!!!</p>
<p>I completely messed up one of my grades because it was online and I was having technical difficulties sending homework and stuff. </p>
<p>Thank you. Can anyone answer some of my other questions?</p>
