National College Match - 2009-2010

<p>QuestBridge will call us if we are Matched? That’s so cool! I hope I get a call from the woman I’ve been talking to through this process. She will be so thrilled for me. On the other hand, can you guys believe there are only 21 days until D-Day? This month is going by very quickly for me. With as busy as my next few weeks will be, I don’t think the pace will be grueling. However, I wish in the back of my mind I didn’t feel so confident. I shouldn’t feel confident about the Match at all. Yet… in the very back of my mind, I’m like, I got this. Augh!</p>

<p>@Applicannot - I’m anxiously watching the posts here</p>

<p>nameofthegame, CodeH & Crystal all seem to have same/similiar problem with Stanford QB ‘rank’ application…meeee tooo!</p>

<p>So what’s up with Stanford?</p>

<p>Could you PLEASE ask the (QB?) woman you have been speaking with, about the QB Stanford ‘rank’ apps? </p>

<p>An e-mail status reply states they don’t process regular decision applicants stuff until late November. Does this mean the QB application is considered reg dec. and will not get processed through the Match? </p>

<p>They have received everything (except they haven’t received 2 teacher recs !!! :eek:) & the QB app. was marked reg.dec. as suggested. </p>

<p>@ -Crystal91 - " 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>What LIST??? QB list??</p>

<p>Will (missing) teacher recs get ‘found’ and applied before Match time?? </p>

<p>Going crazy with thesae ‘details’…AUGH!!</p>

<p>BTW - Welcome back GAMOM - missed your sage advice here…</p>

<p>the teacher’s rec that was received was labeled “Questbridge College Match” (I wrote it myself on the front) on the envelope…the one that hasn’t been processed yet was NOT labeled…</p>

<h2>do you guys think the problem is that i didn’t label the other teacher’s rec and now its lost in the Reg.Decision pile? :(</h2>

<p>"QB schools won’t look at your senior grades for the match process. "</p>

<h2>YES YES YES YES…lol you have no idea.</h2>

<p>i need to do the SSRs for regular decision…everything is due on this friday (wtg!)…</p>

<p>YAY teacher’s 2 is received! (just checked)</p>

<p>but SSR is STILL missing -.-</p>

<p>What “rank” application are you talking about? As far as I know, Stanford has received everything. I guess I can double check the SAT scores today, but otherwise I’m almost positive I’m good to go. I’ve been away all weekend, so if you want me to find out the answer to the problem you’ll have to tell me what the problem is. Stanford sends out a generic email. I got it too. They will process your application for QB, of course… it’s just a generic email. Otherwise there would be no point in them paying for QB. I used the common application to submit recs and the SSR electronically, so I don’t have that problem either… I faxed everything else except for the financial information, so I’m confident it was received.</p>

<p>@applicannot - I just meant that I ‘ranked’ Stanford in the QB application, so would hope for positive answer Dec. 1 - (Ha, ha, in my dreams!) OK not to worry about the ‘generic’ e-mail response about QB vs. Reg. Dec. pool timeline - But, worried about missing teacher’s recs.<br>
Will check again from home, maybe will have good news? -
(@Code H - good that teacher’s rec. showed up!!)</p>

<p>@mia12</p>

<p>Same here.</p>

<p>hey…I’m getting a bit worried about all these teacher recommendations that haven’t been received. I didn’t send any to Upenn because they didn’t require them…but on the Upenn portal it says recommendations haven’t been received yet. Do schools get the recommendations from Questbridge, because as far as I know I never sent any recommendations other than the Questbridge ones. please ease my paranoia</p>

<p>I’m worried about Upenn too. Right now, it has ‘No’ by application signature, ssr, transcript, counselor recommendation, and sat scores.</p>

<p>This is weird because Upenn should have gotten counselor recs and ssrs through Questbridge, and SAT scores and transcripts were sent a long time ago. Application signature, not sure what that is, but I recall something that there was something like that when we filled out the PFAS. Also, I emailed them right after I got my Penn password about my pending fee waiver, and they haven’t gotten back to me. I’ll just chalk it up to a backdated system, but I will be phoning them after this weekend.</p>

<p>hey guys,</p>

<p>first post! anyway, are any of you international? what are you planning to do if you aren’t matched? (i’m assuming you ranked pton, yale, pomona?)</p>

<p>Hey Twiz,</p>

<p>Let me be the first to welcome you to CC. As for your second question, make sure that you have a backup plan. Get started on apps to safety schools a.s.a.p! If you end up not being matched, you’ll be glad you did.</p>

<p>21 days! 10 char</p>

<p>21 days…i need to start finalizing my RD college list…</p>

<p>@twizzler, I’m international! As much as I would like to be accepted by any of the three schools I ranked (Yale, Brown, Princeton) I know I have the slimmest of chances. I just have everything ready for regular decision. I’m just prepared to check my email and see the rejection email, but if I get accepted, I WOULD BE THE HAPPIEST PERSON IN THE WORLD!!!</p>

<p>RD College List for me:</p>

<p>== QB Ranked ==
Yale (Unless all ranked students gets into RD pool automatically)
Brown
Rice</p>

<p>== QB Regular Decision Only ==
Swarthmore
Northwestern
Emory</p>

<p>== Regular Decision List ==
Vanderbilt
U of Rochester
RPI
Case Western
RIT
UTC (Local State School)</p>

<p>I am still thinking for more.</p>

<p>For the Princeton financial aid form thing, if we check off Tax return will not be filed for Student’s Income and Tax Information, then we won’t have to fill out the stuff underneath it right?</p>

<p>I only ranked Yale and Stanford, so I will do those RD if I don’t get matched. I’m forwarding my QB application to Rice and Chicago as well as completing their RD applications. I’m also applying to Washington University in St. Louis (first choice!), Boston University, George Washington University, and the University of Pittsburgh (accepted with full tuition scholarship).</p>

<p>When I said Stanford as a list, I mean they have a list of the QB Finalists who ranked Stanford.</p>

<p>I reread my Princeton summer essay and now I’m very dejected…I didn’t spend that much time on it because I thought they just wanted a “i hope you didn’t play video games all summer” type deal. Darnnn. I know there’s nothing I can do about it now, but it still bugs me.</p>

<p>Regular List</p>

<p>Wash U @ St.Louis</p>

<p>Williams
Pomona
Swarthmore
U Wisconsin - Madison (safety)
Carleton?
Kenyon?
Duke?</p>

<p>idk…I want more research universities</p>

<p>Just had my MIT interview. I’m not sure. I think it went really well, if we’re looking at how the guy got to know me as a person, but maybe not as much if we’re focusing on how much he found out about why I want to go to MIT</p>
