National College Match - 2009-2010

<p>Keep in mind that 99% of all emails you receive from colleges are generic. The same goes for mail. How would QB know if you’re going to get matched? The process is completely out of their hands. They are waiting on a list from colleges just like we are. But, QB does know that the percentage of students that are matched is very low. Just relax. I know how stress can feel, but every time I start to panic, I take a step back and use common sense. It’s a good practice, and in the end it relaxes you. So think before you freak, and if logically you can’t come to a conclusion, know that it’s probably just stress.</p>

<p>I got one too</p>

<p>I got one of those emails too. I think that they are just trying to let you know that the date that we find out if we are matched is getting closer and we have to face the possibility of not getting matched so we have enough time to prepare a backup plan, if we don’t have one already.</p>

<p>did y’all get Princeton’s “your application is complete” email?</p>

<p>/sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh</p>

<p>okay, off to preparing for regular decision :(</p>

<p>@Code H: I just got one of those emails about ten minutes ago even though the application tracking system said previously that my application was complete. Maybe that means they will finally start reviewing the applications?</p>

<p>I received both the Princeton email, and the QB email</p>

<p>I didn’t get that email =[
It still says they did not get my teacher evaluation #2. wth? he submitted online on Sunday. what should I do?? when is the latest date to resubmit stuff?</p>

<p>does anyone else still have a recommendation missing?</p>

<p>oh my god…/sigh</p>

<p>i went back to my commonapp…i forgot to put some tutoring service hours (like 40 hours, as part of NHS) in the additional info…this won’t be a big problem right? </p>

<p>ugh.</p>

<p>Code H: I don’t think it’s going to make/break your application. If it really matters that much to you, you could probably email or fax them the proof of your 40 hours. I was also wondering the same thing. I didn’t put down some activities either (Peer Leading, 100+ hours cleaning nearby public middle school, Winter Track 2 yrs, World Taekwondo Federation Black belt – but I stopped doing TKD during Freshman year) because it wouldn’t fit in the activity space. I didn’t really think these things would make that much of a different…I have to fax them tomorrow with an award thing. Maybe I should fax those ECs as well…?</p>

<p>Did anyone who emailed Princeton their financial aid application get a confirmation that their application was received?</p>

<p>Hmm, I got a general one saying that “your application is complete” but I’m not sure if that has to do with the financial aid application. I did email mine though. It’s the safest bet (to me). So I’m sure if you emailed it, they got it.</p>

<p>Princeton seems to be the only school on the top of its game right now. In terms of notifying us and whatnot.</p>

<p>hi, all! I’ve been contacted for a yale interview! i know many of you already had your interviews with yale. Does anyone have any tips? it’ll be my first real college admissions interview, and i’m super nervous. also, should i restate whatever i put on my application (e.g. talk about topics of my essays since they really capture my character) or should I talk about other stuff. In fact, has my interviewer already received a copy of my app? or do i just start form scratch with him/her? Could those of you who’ve already has your interviews give a few pointers? THANKS! should i talk about ec’s or would this be redundant if the person already has my app?</p>

<p>My status with ranked schools:</p>

<p>Stanford missing transcript.
Penn missing transcript (and fee waiver and app signature)
I haven’t heard from Columbia or Yale.</p>

<p>Is that anything out of that ordinary? Should I call those schools?</p>

<p>My statuses:</p>

<p>Princeton- done
Stanford- missing EVERYTHING. (I don’t know what’s up with them…maybe they haven’t processed everything yet? I used mailing labels and everything) I think they’re missing everything that’s mailed in right now.
Brown- dunno
Yale- dunno
** i have a feeling those schools won’t tell you anything
Emory- what does “initiated” mean? Plus, missing my emory scholars app!!!</p>

<p>laestudiante…my interviewer liked to talked about Harvard…its a secret evil trap…don’t get enticed…ALWAYS criticize Harvard’s wacky fresh dorm assignment when compared to Yale’s RCs.</p>

<p>;)</p>

<p>crystal, initiated means they haven’t gotten it yet. does it say your applicaiton fee is initiated? I checked fee waiver bc I’m a qb finalist and im applying for emory scholars, but it says initiated on my opus thing.</p>

<p>No, my application fee says “completed” </p>

<p>My emory scholars app isn’t even appearing on my OPUS account…Which is why I’m like kinda worried. </p>

<p>How much stuff is “initiated” on yours?</p>

<p>How do you check the status of your application for Emory? They never sent me any instructions regarding checking the status of your application.</p>

<p>anyone know the date after which my teacher should resubmit his rec? I heard November 19th for Stanford…but is this right?</p>

<p>uh oh…my teacher just realized today he didnt submit his rec, so he resubmitted just now…== online…fckfckfckf AM I SCREWED? SHOULD I EMAIL QB OR THE COLLEG? WHHAT SOHUL DI DO please help. thanks.</p>
