<p>Happy thanksgiving everyone! :d:d:d</p>
<p>Happy Thanksgiving!!!</p>
<p>Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! I’m grateful for College Confidential 
and the lovely posters who make my day.</p>
<p>natim1, same for me. it was only a matter of getting into a top notch school. times have changes and their financial aid is so generous. however, there are still only a handful of colleges that meet full financial need. this is why QB is really amazing.
Okay, I’m grateful for QB already :).</p>
<p>Five days guys. You know what, the first will rock even if I don’t get matched. I’m getting paid $30 an hour to tutor. AWEEEEEEEESOME.</p>
<p>Niiiiice applicannot.
I had a tutoring job for $25/hour until last week, but I did NOT like the way the student’s mom was treating me, so I finally called her to say I quit. I’m happy I won’t have to deal with her anymore, but sad that I won’t have a source of income :(</p>
<p>Regardless, I’m grateful for a lot of things this year, QuestBridge & College Confidential being two of them ! Happy Thanksgiving everyone!</p>
<p>happy thanksgiving you guys!
i visit this site daily!
bless you all =]</p>
<p>I wrote an essay last night. For three prompts. It was awesome, though it needs a lot of work and it’s over 1100 words. I feel so accomplished.</p>
<p>EDIT: I’m having a renewed problem with it’s and its lately. I thought I conquered that in eighth grade. Auuugh!</p>
<p>I’m incredibly incredibly thankful for Questbridge It got me started on my essays early and have a relatively stress free college admissions process. Even though I decided to not do a match, the fee waivers have been a big help for us financially.</p>
<p>I honestly don’t know what I would have done without Questbridge.</p>
<p>And of course I’m thankful for my teachers and counselor for writing amazing recs and GAMOM for her encouraging posts. I don’t think I would have even attempted Questbridge if it weren’t for GAMOM and tokenadult!</p>
<p>I might be too optimistic. </p>
<br>
<br>
<p>Life still goes one whether I can go to college or not. I’m glad I’ have a backup plan.</p>
<p>4 days more.
Hope for the best, guys!</p>
<p>Ya, same here. My friends actually think that I am crazy because I applied through QB. They think that I have plunged my chances and I would have been much better off by applying EA. But, QB has helped me sooo much that I always beg to differ. I used my QB biographical essay as my commonapp main essay. And I used one of the secondary essays as my supplement essay! It has helped me so much in my regular application process that even if I don’t get matched, I will always be thankful for QB! Good luck everyone! I hope we all get into our dream school!!!</p>
<p>Well, if you think about it, being a finalist really means a $2000 scholarship. We have fee waivers (say, $75 each?) for 27 schools. That’s more than 2k by itself. So I’d say being a finalist by itself is pretty great!</p>
<p>That’s the optimistic way to think about it! Very nice!</p>
<p>Sorry for the change in tone. </p>
<p>Anyone ranked Emory? Because if so, I really really really need to ask you a question, but it’s very discreet and on the down-low, and you might benefit from this question as well. It’s an experience that JUST happened to me via email and I wish to verify it with you. (it’s not a good experience) </p>
<p>Please PM me or let me know on here so I can PM you.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>Haha I have thought of the $2000 bit. It is with benefits though.
Has anyone noticed that this forum has been tagged with “sex” ?</p>
<p>3.5 more days! Stanford only just admitted to getting my recommendations, and Princeton still lists my ACT score as “not received”</p>
<p>Urg! Anyone else having similar problems?</p>
<p>I’m so nervous! This is nuts! </p>
<p>Happy Thanksgiving and good luck to all of you!</p>
<p>@NYSpinnerDan: I’m thinking that if the college hasn’t received everything by now, it’s too late. They probably already know who’s going where.</p>
<p>Just finished GW’s supplement. I had to write 3 extra essays!!! It took me a long time to come up with new ideas.</p>
<p>It’s just around a weekend left!!! I’m just getting ready for the “We’re happy you applied for Questbridge…” beginning of the rejection letter. :P. Set myself up for rejection so I won’t get too hopeful. Lol! And for those of you who celebrate it, Eid ul Adha Mubarak! :D</p>
<p>Oh! Nevermind about the Emory post =P I’ve gotten the help I needed. Thanks!</p>
<p>What would you guys do if you got the acceptance phonecall? Since I’m west coast, I’ll probably be in school so I won’t scream or anything. I would first call my mom, then my sister, then I’ll tell my counselor and then I’ll scream and tell my friends. Oh God, I can’t wait for Tuesday :D</p>
