<p>omg…RD…I don’t even want to think about that…it’s going to be so much work, lol. I’m praying for a miracle…</p>
<p>Is it really 5pm PST? I could have sworn it was in Eastern Time. Are they really going to make us wait all day? :(</p>
<p>Good luck everyone!</p>
<p>No matter what happens tomorrow, we’re still Questbridge finalists. And Questbridge finalists are survivors. We’ll all be OK in the end.</p>
<p>Ugh i thought it would be released at midnight.
This is just lovely.
GAR.
Anyone else actually get called by Questbridge? (not call them)</p>
<p>everyone have a goodnight, a speedy day tmrw, and pleasant news in the afternoon!</p>
<p>Today was already a painful wait…but I guess tomorrow will be worse…esp we are all uncertain about the time</p>
<p>wait. so QB actually reads this stuff?</p>
<p>:/ don’t think that’s good.</p>
<p>good luck to everyone! :)</p>
<p>it’s weird that now I can log in my financial aid account on the Columbia site.</p>
<p>Is everyone able to log in their financial aid account at</p>
<p><a href=“http://admissions.columbia.edu%5B/url%5D”>http://admissions.columbia.edu</a></p>
<p>good luck guys, we’ve made it this far.</p>
<p>:)</p>

<p>I can log into my financial aid account as well, do you think it means anything?</p>
<p>I can also log into my Columbia financial aid account, though I never tried to do so until now.</p>
<p>When I log in, the tabs for “your awards” and “your documents” etc all disappear, so it’s rather useless for me right now. I can’t do anything after logging in except reading that intro message and possibly changing my account info.</p>
<p>Are you guys getting the same thing?</p>
<p>^ yupyup, i’m getting the same thing.</p>
<p>i don’t think it’s anything significant… :/</p>
<p>Bummer, well maybe we just all got in and it’s a sign. I know that’s stupid, but it’s hope right?</p>
<p>Oh man oh man oh man oh man oh man oh man
oh geez oh geez oh man oh man.</p>
<p>Ahhhhhhhhhh!</p>
<p>Good luck all tommorrow. I am in the hospital with the piggy flu and haven’t followed thread for a couple of days now! Wow, I think this year wins for the freaking out award! :)</p>
<p>Reading through, I have a couple of comments. I am not going to quote each thing I am responding to, I don’t have enough energy right now for that.</p>
<p>Somebody posted the number of match recipients for each school last year. Those #s are not representative of the # that each school put on their “list,” that is the # that was matched after the algorithem (I know I spelled that wrong) was run by QB. Take Amherst for instance. There were 8 match recipients last year. That does NOT mean that Amherst went through the pile of all QB applicants and only sent 8 names back to QB. Hypothetically, they could have sent 15, and 7 of them had ranked another school higher that ALSO wanted them. Those other schools would have got them over Amherst. Thus, Amherst ended up with 8. Hope that makes sense.</p>
<p>Yes, I am sure QB reads this thread. I’m sure they want to monitor things and some of you may have posed questions that they hadn’t thought of??? Who knows?</p>
<p>Sorry you all are stressing, that is probably an understatement. Some of you tommorrow will be able to enjoy the holidays and the rest of your senior year with ZERO stress! For those of you that are not, just look at the #s, approx 60% of you will eventually be admitted to a QB school with fantastic financial aid!</p>
<p>Oh, re the question about when you will receive a FA package if matched, I can only speak for my D. She did not get one until the spring, when I am assuming that RD applicants did. It was not a surprise obviously, as QB clearly states the FA for each partner school.</p>
<p>One last thought, for those of you who qualify, I will say this again. Don’t forget to apply for the Gates Scholarship. Even if you will receive a full need-based ride to your school, Gates will cover other things, such as work study. My D received the Gates as well, and it has allowed her to spend more time on her academics, EC’s, etc. instead of having to work. Just a thought.</p>
<p>Good luck to all of you. </p>

<p>p.s. D got her phone call from a QB staffer just about 5:00 p.m. EST. E-mails to the non-matched finalists were sent around 7:00-8:00 p.m. EST. Take that as a reference for what it is worth.</p>
<p>p.p.s. Try not to scream too loudly into the phone when you get the call. I’m pretty sure my D blew out the eardrum of the QB staffter that called her. :)</p>
<p>what exactly are you guys able to see in the financial aid site?</p>
<p>Oh nevermind, I’m seeing the same thing.</p>
<p>I really really really hope this is a good sign!!! But I doubt it…</p>
<p>Columbia is my dream school and to be able to go there would be so awesome! </p>
<p>GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!</p>
<p>OMG. Good luck everyone!!!</p>
<p>i think we’re also going to receive emails.</p>
