<p>A friend called Penn about missing items. Told Penn will send all applicants an e-mail if they are missing anything. Their site is not updated, which means they have everything UNLESS THEY CONTACT YOU via an e-mail. Hope that helps relieves some anxiety.</p>
<p>i have some things that will make everyone else feel a little better about themselves:
- i just realized, as i clicked on this post, i forgot to submit my princeton financial aid package that was due the 13th.
- ive only been contacted by pomona, saying theyve received my app and its complete. i applied to eight schools.</p>
<p>has anyone heard from schools like swarthmore, amherst or bowdoin? i havent been contacted in any way from them…</p>
<p>??? please reply</p>
<p>yeah i think we all have the same problem…
princeton is missing on of my teacher recs
and stanford is just REALLY behind on everything… they have yet to process like 3 things</p>
<p>ok well i guess i wont worry about it…</p>
<p>ugh</p>
<p>so this isn’t exactly a QB question, but it is for my safety school and i am so confused! i was hoping one of you guys could help me out…</p>
<p>What does “highest one-day test scores in each category” mean?</p>
<p>I am doing the student profile section necessary for scholarships and one of the questions asks to fill that in. then, they have a space open for every section i.e. SAT: __ CR _<em>Math _</em> Writing _<em>Essay _</em> Multiple Choice _<em>Total </em> Test Date ACT: _<em>English _</em> Math _<em>Reading _</em>Science _<em>Composite _</em> Combined English/writing _<em>Writing Subscore </em> Test Date</p>
<p>So i’m confused. do they want the highest I’ve ever scored or the highest I scored in one day? Like just my scores my January (for example) or can i mix in my scores (i.e. January and June)? If i can mix in the scores, which test date do I say? And for the total, do i put in the highest total i’ve ever gotten or the new total of all my highest scores? if i put in the new total, then what do i do for the act? i can calculate my new composite, but i can’t calculate the new combined english/writing. THANKS! :)</p>
<p>… tell me if it doesn’t make sense please</p>
<p>In response to my email, Caltech just sent me this:</p>
<p>"Greetings,</p>
<p>At this time your application for QuestBridge Match has been reviewed. However, I would encourage you to go ahead and send the college transcript. This can be added to your file and used if needed for further information.</p>
<p>Sincerely,"</p>
<p>What does this imply? 
It seems to me that most of colleges that have small ED applicant pools have finished reading the QB application.</p>
<p>^ our fates at princeton have been determined.</p>
<p>Oh god…</p>
<p>Okay, so…</p>
<p>I just got contacted to schedule a Yale interview. Aside from the fact I don’t really want one (obviously I won’t say no), my schedule is really booked. I’m not overly busy, but I don’t have a car or a license and I live 10 minutes from town, much less the nearest alum (an hour). So, getting a ride is a huge problem. I guess I’ll see what the response email says. Also, what do I do if we go to lunch or something? Am I supposed to pay? I have NO MONEY right now. I also have nothing to wear and no money to buy slacks with, so basically I’m going in jeans.</p>
<p>applicannot: We just went to a starbucks, I didn’t have to buy anything. I highly doubt you’d go to lunch, a coffee at most, and you’re not obligated to buy anything…as for the pants, I’d borrow slacks from someone…unless they’re really nice jeans. But, I hjave trouble believing that you dont have ANY dressy clothes at all!</p>
<p>can someone answer the question i posted earlier pleaseeee?</p>
<p>and btw, if you guys put qb finalist as an award, what did you say as a description of it?</p>
<p>I only own three pairs of jeans, and two of them are more than two years old. I have a few “nicer” tops, one that will definitely pass. I don’t have any slacks and as a plus-sized girl “borrowing” is really not an option. And they’re not really nice jeans, they’re really old. Worse comes to worst I have some black capris. They’re definitely not slacks and they’re entirely seasonally inappropriate, but I’m sure they’re better than jeans (plus I have shoes that go with them). But, going to a Starbucks or something is good.</p>
<p>in your situation i’d recommend wearing those black capris, or maybe some black leggings and wear a pretty, dressy shirt. go for a small heel, and you’ll look both cute and professional…</p>
<p>on another note, i’m so jealous!! i’m currently staring at my phone, trying to send telepathic messages to yale to call me</p>
<p>tbh. don’t feel pressured to dress up. i’m sure your personality will shine thru.</p>
<p>i went to both my MIT and Yale interviews in red converses, jeans and a casual long-sleeve shirt.</p>
<p>applicannot: I went to my Yale interview in dark jeans and my interviewer complemented me on the outfit…he said how he hated when people came over-dressed.
Basically, don’t stress about the clothes. Focus on what you want to say, that’s what REALLY matters.</p>
<p>@mia: I believe “highest one-day test scores in each category” means scores from your best sitting…no mixing best scores from different sittings. “one day” means from one sitting only, and “in each category” means your score from that one sitting in Math, CR, and writing. (you might want to check with others to make sure though!)</p>
<p>Jeans it is. (For the record, plus-sized leggings are basically impossible to find. Why can’t someone just make an XXL? Seriously? It’s not so hard. Is ANYONE here going into fashion design? I could make you filthy rich, because NO ONE designs good clothes for plus-sized women. Especially not affordable clothes.)</p>
<p>OMG! I haven’t been contacted for any interviews? This is a horrible sign!!!</p>
<p>Notre Dame rankers: Did anyone else receive a letter saying that your materials had been received and that a decision would be forthcoming in mid-December? Makes it appear ds is applying ED or EA rather than through QB. No mention of QB at all.</p>
<p>well this doesn’t really apply to notre dame and i don’t know the application process, but when i accidentally sent the common app to upenn, they placed me in the ED at UPENN, not the QB section. Maybe you did something like that. A lady called me and I clarified my status, but if she didn’t, I might have forfeited the QB app.</p>
<p>did anyone get an email from questbridge saying prepare a college backup plan?</p>
