National College Match - 2009-2010

<p>@Code H
The only nonbinding schools I ranked is Princeton, just for the heck of it. My stats probably aren’t that great to get in to the ivys.
Here are my rankings

  1. Vassar
  2. Haverford
  3. Emory
  4. Trinity
  5. Washington LEe</p>

<p>On a side note, does anyone know the acceptance rates of Questbridge Finalists who weren’t Matched but were accepted Regular Decision for the non-binding, top-tier schools? (i.e. Stanford, Princeton, Yale, MIT)</p>

<p>I know on the QB site it says that around 60% were accepted overall, but that’s including every single QB partner college. But what about these top 4, most competitive schools?</p>

<p>arrgh i’m going crazy. I’ve tried being optimistic but optimism only goes so far.</p>

<p>I’m already assuming that I did not get Matched…that’s how low my expectations are at the moment…</p>

<p>Okay, new update. Apparently some people may or may not have received calls, but they may or may not have been Matched. Sometimes the colleges want a last minute check and they go through QB, and sometimes QB needs to verify something. That’s the word from Palo Alto.</p>

<p>that’s good to hear. </p>

<p>So i was keeping my phone with me all day, and then i got sick of it so i left it upstairs. When i got back upstairs, i had a missed call, then my phone died. So i was recharging it all anxious like and the missed call was from my mom…</p>

<p>Just got off the phone with a very friendly QB staff :slight_smile: She said they don’t have a set time at which matched finalists will start receiving notifications, but they will be trying their hardest to get all of the notifications out BY 5pm PST. I asked her if any of the matchees will receive phone calls, and she said that it would be done via e-mail only.</p>

<p>Hmmmmmmmm… I think I’ll spend my night trying to get my mind off of QB. Planning to watch 50 First Dates! Such an adorable movie. I doubt I’ll get much school work done… I’m actually kind of surprised at how surreal everything seems at this point. Good luck, everyone. But whatever the result is tomorrow, keep in mind: Everything happens for a reason! Matched or not, I’m sure all of us CCers will end up in our best fits.</p>

<p>Hope to hear back from y’all tomorrow!</p>

<p>lol iamthinking thats funny</p>

<p>my phone got confiscated for a week by my econ teacher because it rang in class for like 2 seconds (I turned it off asap)today by accident. my sadistic teacher LAUGHED and said “too bad” when i told her that i might get a call from Questbridge tomorrow about college.</p>

<p>Just for the record, less than 24 hours. Also, you just shouldn’t have given it to him. Or maybe that’s just me.</p>

<p>CodeH:
Whatsup with Eco teachers? I am starting to believe they’re all sadistic</p>

<p>wouldn’t have worked. he’s the kinda teacher who would’ve taken points off my class participation part of the grade for not cooperating. i wouldn’t put that past him. he is that evil.</p>

<p>i begged him to give it back tomorrow (asked him if he can just take it away for today) and he laughed it off…plus i did him a huge favor last week in school…wow…</p>

<p>Pshhh…I disagree. My Econ teacher is awesome :slight_smile: He wrote my Questbridge rec (granted I also had him for Government)</p>

<p>Wow Code H, that is pretty cold hearted…and you guys have class participation points o.O? If my high school did that I’m pretty sure I would have gotten As in most of my classes :p</p>

<p>and i have to go to school tmr because my eng teacher decided to give us a quiz tomorrow. plus i have double periods of calc tmr… :(</p>

<p>Does anyone know about how many people get matched from each school? And about how many apply to each? Specifically Columbia and MIT.</p>

<p>^ Very very very few</p>

<p>[QuestBridge:</a> Students: Student Profiles](<a href=“http://questbridge.org/students/class2013_match_profiles.html]QuestBridge:”>QuestBridge)</p>

<p>can someone explain in details about non binding and binding ? if i rank stanford #1 and scripps as 2nd (let’s say i’m matched with both)…where do i go?</p>

<p>You can’t get Matched at both.</p>

<p>Reading your guys comments makes me more nerveous… lol … i dont know why…
I am pretty sure I did not get matched, but I still have some hope…
Did anyone rank northwestern?
Will anyone will be able to sleep tonight??
I cannot concentrate on anything and i Have an AP bio test tomorrow =/</p>

<p>I think you go to Stanford :)</p>
