<p>freaking out.</p>
<p>i emailed Princeton last week updating them on 1 of my ECs.</p>
<p>They never replied…maybe because it wasn’t necessary to reply…they’ve already reviewed my file and rejected me?</p>
<p>O_O!!!</p>
<p>I couldn’t agree more with rainbowcandy. </p>
<p>That comment was truly arrogant. Yale is good enough for anybody, and making college decisions based on “it factors,” is more than a little ludicrous. Remember that a Questbridge scholarships is a gift; no one deserves it. Yale could easily continue being one of the foremost universities in the country without participating in the Questbridge program, so let’s continue being grateful.</p>
<p>In other news, I was recently contacted by a woman from the MIT financial aid office to work out some kinks in my financial aid paperwork. I called Caltech to make sure that they weren’t having similar issues, and the man with whom I spoke said that Caltech only looks at the financial aid paperwork of those chosen for the match, and that match decisions were not yet finalized. Was my being contacted by the MIT dept of financial aid a good sign?</p>
<p>I apologize for that comment guys. Looking back, it is rather arrogant of me. I realize that there are so many people out there who would die for any of these schools. I am really sorry. :(</p>
<p>Regarding that call. I think it’s a very good sign. Congrats!</p>
<p>Code H: You’ve already been denied. For regular round while they’re at it too.</p>
<p>hopeful1992: I wouldn’t think too much on it. It could just mean that MIT wants to make sure they have everything regarding your financial situation before they render any decisions concerning you.</p>
<p>Everyone concerned about interviews: Interviews that are assigned by the colleges do not tend to correlate well with your current/future status in the admissions process. It’s more about the availability of the volunteer alumni in your area.</p>
<p>Okay, realistically, no one gets bummed about getting into Yale. Seriously guys? Code H almost certainly wasn’t be literal. Of course I’d be bummed - it meant I didn’t get into Stanford, my second choice. But “bummed” to get into Yale is like 9.999975/10 happy as opposed to 10/10. No one wasted time with QuestBridge to rank a school they don’t like.</p>
<p>Did anyone receive anything from Rice in the mail the past couple of days?</p>
<p>I seriously think that some of these posts have been made regarding the anxiety people feel when we are A LITTLE MORE THAN A WEEK AWAY from Dec. 1!!! AHHHH!!! </p>
<p>Let’s not turn this into some soap-opera, drama session on CC, guys.</p>
<p>But anyway, I think I missed one of the posts because I’ve been gone from here for a while,</p>
<p>For whoever asked about checking status at Emory, this is the website <a href=“https://psoftsa.cc.emory.edu/psp/saprod/?cmd=login&languageCd=ENG[/url]”>https://psoftsa.cc.emory.edu/psp/saprod/?cmd=login&languageCd=ENG</a></p>
<p>Just obtain the ID</p>
<p>applicannot: that was sort of what I was thinking. BUT looking back now, I can see that our comments certainly came off as very arrogant. I have gotten very attached to my first choice (who isn’t?), so an acceptance from a non-first choice will trigger a “I was rejected” thought…BUT 2 seconds later, I’d be jumping up and down and calling everyone just like I would had I gotten into my 1st choice.</p>
<p>But I still have to apologize because the way that I said it was really offensive. I hope that you guys can understand.</p>
<p>Omega, is that funny sarcasm or mean sarcasm?</p>
<p>P.S. in other news, a Yale alum on the Yale board just attacked me for having the AUDACITY (how DARE I?!) to question whether Yale is a good place for me (since I am not into musical instruments/theatre/arts and it seems to me that the majority* (over 50%) of the Yale student population are into at least 1 of these).</p>
<p>It’s whatever’s better at conveying this message: Stop panicking about every little detail and making inferences on things that aren’t there.</p>
<p>@CodeH: Out of coincidence, I actually SAW that post about how “someone attacked you when you were asking about Yale” when I was clicking on “Latest Posts” earlier…and holy crap, I’m sorry you had to go through that. You had a simple question, lol, and whoever answered you did take it out of context. </p>
<p>And also, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with expressing one’s panic and emotion on CC as long as it’s not negative and hateful…To be honest, reading other people’s posts on here (whether the freakouts or the optimistic ones) really helps ME deal with the waiting process. </p>
<p>I panic and freak out too. It’s not such a big deal. For those who get annoyed, just move on. For those who can relate and probably feels the same way, it makes them feel better. For those who can HELP, they can, well, help, and everybody’s happy.</p>
<p>hopeful1992, let us know if you do get matched to MIT so all of next year’s applicants will know to leave some kinks in their financial aid paperwork in order to receive a <em>very</em> early match notification. ;)</p>
<p>^ lol.</p>
<p>crystal91, thanks for understanding. And he/she is an alum interviewer too…moving on!</p>
<p>Out of curiosity, do you guys think that colleges have the time/effort to read these boards? I think I’ll refrain from posting any and all personal academic/biographical informations on CC from now on…</p>
<p>@crystal: I was the one who asked about checking status for Emory so thanks for the link! I saw that you were asking which elements were listed as “initiated” on the to do list for Emory. For me I have 4 things listed as “initiated.” How about you?</p>
<p>Lol, I’ll be sure to let you guys know if I get matched. </p>
<p>However, I wouldn’t recommend leaving any kinks in your MIT financial aid application. The financial aid representative totally jumped down my throat. She actually scared me quite a bit. </p>
<p>I can’t believe the match results will be out in just about a week! I keep on having weird, questbridge-related dreams. The other day, I actually woke up thinking I’d been matched to MIT for a few seconds. </p>
<p>Is anyone else here ranking Caltech?</p>
<p>guys, we should stop being so hard on each other. and i think we were being unfair to code h. we’re in similar situations and the college process is challenging enough as it is w/o someone else making our day even harder. let’s just be nice. we’re here to help, not to attack one another. 
everyone smile NOW!</p>
<p>Hi everyone!
I’ve been following this board for quite a while, but now that the decisions are going to be coming out soon… I decided to post (: ESPECIALLY since I have this week of school off, and now that I actually have time to think about the Match … I’m freaking out. hahaha, I even had a random dream about QB last night -___-.</p>
<p>btw, good luck everyone !! (:</p>
<p>Does anyone else daydream about getting matched with a certain school? lol</p>
<p>@stevenboi: well this is going to sound ridiculous, but I’ve imagined being matched at 6 of 7 schools i ranked…thoroughly XD
I just can’t help it…i want this SO BAD.</p>
<p>Also for those of you wondering is schools look at these kind of boards or fbook groups, the answer is YES. I was actually at a school i ranked a bit ago and i was discussing THIS VERY THREAD with one of the Deans. And they they were the ones to initiate the topic. I don’t think it’s anything any of us have to worry about though, because i assume that if you ranked a school you’d be like peeing your pants to go there looll
That’s my case anyways…</p>
