<p>i didn’t do a resume. it was unnecessary in my case.</p>
<p>guys, i forgot to tell colleges the specific local-college class that i’m taking (it’s sociology)…on my i just said fall/2009 -college name- college-credit class, i forgot to say that its sociology…now sociology isn’t the focus of my app…i took it cause it sounded interesting.</p>
<p>is it worth it to contact all 4 of my schools and tell them this? via email or what? i’m not good with phone convos. (i get nervous)…or should i just let it go?</p>
<p>code h, i say just email them. because they can read/consider w/e you say on their own time, you know. and if they get annoyed, well, at least they wont scream at you via phone. </p>
<p>and were you serious about the harvard thing in your yale interview? also, did your interviewer have a copy of your app?</p>
<p>Is the Princeton Financial Aid Deadline Nov 13 or 16th???</p>
<p>On questbridge, it says “No later than the thirteenth.” But when I look at the e-mail Princeton sent me, it said:</p>
<p>"If we receive the PFAA (and, if required, the Non-custodial Parents Form) by November 16, and you are matched with Princeton, a financial aid letter will accompany the mailing from the Admissions Office. "</p>
<p>Please help me:
Dad’s company got downsized last week. And now dad can only work part time and make <$1000 per month. Should I tell the colleges about this? Or do I just have to send an email to QuestBridge explaining a change in my financial situation?</p>
<p>@pnptruong - Don’t stress! You will not be matched or not because of $$ - You can explain additional financial situation when FA package is offered w/acceptance!
OMG you guys are making me crazy and crazy…yet I can’t break the attachment here. At least I don’t feel alone! :eek:
(taking deep breath now…) @sinceredesichick - IDK - didn’t rank Princeton (will try for Reg. Dec. if my top 3 CRASH)</p>
<p>sinceredesichick : I think that since the PFAA email from Princeton is more recent and directly from Princeton, the 16th is the better deadline.</p>
<p>@okaymkay, i dont think it’s unusual, especially if you ranked different schools. i read a short thread about questbridge matches from i think 2 years ago, and it looks like the most deciding factor was financial. those who didnt get accepted to college came from 50-60 k families it seems. so i think if you’re qualified financially and academically, youll be fine :).</p>
<p>@okaymkay: I don’t know of any other finalists at my school. I know a few people were going to apply but they didn’t because the application was too long. I do know that two people in the last two years were recipients of the scholarship, one to Columbia and one to Vassar.</p>
<p>[sorry for all these questions. i guess i’m a little freaked out about the questbridge scholarship, and i’ve never realized the usefulness of forums. :P]</p>
<p>to anyone who applied to upenn:
when you access your application checklist, does it say that your application signature and fee waiver request has not been processed? i know they process everything at different times, but these are the only things that haven’t been processed and it has almost been a month…</p>
<p>@okaymkay - Interesting to see the Facebook Finalist Group - (now numbering 104) has < 4 Finalists @Bronx HS of Science, NY, < 3 or 4 (don’t remember? ) @ Stuyvesant H.S., NY, and other H.S.'s (ie. Edgewater? Chicago??) w/multiple Finalists.</p>
<p>I was also quite surprised to see so many Finalists from Florida.</p>
<p>Adding ‘geographical diversity’ to disadvantaged URM, first generation, single parent household, below poverty level, w/multiple siblings, rural farm belt area and of course also BRILLIANT & CREATIVE to gain advantage for QB first round match @PYSM?
AARRGGHHH - makes my head spin - :eek: </p>
<p>It’s hard not to freak out here since I’m not sure I can count on any of the above ? </p>
<p>My app. will stand-out by the good-looking photo! (:))</p>
