National College Match - 2009-2010

<p>i only ranked</p>

<p>Stanford
Princeton.</p>

<p>I should have ranked Pomona but I was nervous of the binding aspect. I visited Pomona two weekends ago and fell in love =]</p>

<p>Are people still AIM chatting? Someone IM me. My screenname is the same as my username.</p>

<p>Hm, you’re offline, haha</p>

<p>Sorry, not anymore.</p>

<p>how come nobody did all eight?
yeah i had to pay like 96 bucks in sending scores and css profiles but hopefully its worth it…
becuase im thinking even if i dont get college match they still have it for rd.</p>

<p>62 hours!!! (til twelve p.m. on tuesday)
im CONSTANTLY thinking about this
i cant have a straight conversation all because of this</p>

<p>twelve pm? I thought it was around 5 pm that QB contacts you with an accept/reject? </p>

<p>SAME!!!</p>

<p>There were only 4 schools on QB that I liked, and two of them were binding. Binding makes me queasy. Therefore, I only ranked 2.</p>

<p>I can’t focus on aaanything because of this wait – everything (e.g. homework) feels so irrelevant and unimportant compared to December 1st!</p>

<p>I’m reading to help get my mind off things. I should probably be working on RD apps, but seriously! Anyone read the Ender’s series? They’re big books, and there are a lot of them. It helps pass the time. :D</p>

<p>I ranked 8. at first. Then a couple weeks ago I contacted QB to take on of my schools off my list since it was binding and I decided I didn’t really want to go to that school after all. So now I have 7 ranked, I wasted money on sending the CSS to them though =[</p>

<p>yeah the css and sending the scores were expensive
but i contacted some of the schools and asked if the act score on my transcript was fine and a few said that it was
and then the css- only six needed it (out of 8) and then i got a waiver for two so it wasnt as much as i anticipated ($160)… cause my parents were soooo not gonna pay for that
they are doing this in good faith- hoping that ill get atleast one</p>

<p>I originally ranked 8 but then I decided I didn’t really want to got to Bowdoin or Amherst so I took them both off of my list. I only sent my test scores to Amherst so I didn’t waste much money. My CSS fees were free because I qualified for a fee waiver from College Board so no money wasted there.</p>

<p>The same thing happened to me O.O
I ranked 8 but then wanted to remove the last two from my list. I e-mailed Questbridge about it and they said “we will try to honor request.” Now I’m freaking out about them not honoring my request and being matched to one of those schools :confused:
Do you guys think they will have taken them off my rankings?</p>

<p>Eotinuviel, I think they would have taken those two schools off your list. They probably put the “try to honor request” phrase because they don’t want to encourage more people to do that. Just my 2 cents…</p>

<p>@Eotinuviel: If you wanted to take a college off of your rankings, you were supposed to fill out a form from QB’s website and submit it by a certain date. I guess you were too late to do that. I also emailed the colleges that I was taking off of my list to let them know not to consider my application. Once the school knows that you’re not interested, they will probably not want you either.</p>

<p>Does anyone know what time e-mails will be coming out?</p>

<p>I know I shouldn’t be hopeful, but I am and it’s going to kill me when I find out nothing has changed.</p>

<p>Our finalist emails were earlier than last year so maybe it’ll be the same with the match emails. I think the earliest finalist email this year came out at about 10am and last year it was later than that. The general assumption is that the emails will start around 5pm (not sure which time zone).</p>

<p>Dear CC,</p>

<p>I just realized I made a grievous mistake on my Questbridge application. I misreported one of my SAT Subject Test scores. Do you think it’s too late to inform all the schools about my mistake? How does one go about fixing this mistake? Are all my chances of being matched screwed or will the colleges look at the official reports and decide it was a mistake?</p>

<p>Please give me your opinion. :(</p>

<p>Did you report it higher or lower than it actually is? If you reported it lower, then it is probably not that bad. But, I still think you should immediately e-mail the colleges alerting them of your mistake. It is probably too late…Any other thoughts?</p>

<p>In any case, I think colleges would understand it was a mistake as they match your score with your official score report.</p>
