<p>Feel better soon, gamom. Thanks for all your help in the past year.</p>
<p>Good luck, alll. I’ve got lots of things lined up to distract me today. :)</p>
<p>I fully expect to be on meebo later (after school) so I hope others will utilize that chat room. Just log into meebo and search the meebo rooms for QuestBridge and the room should come up!</p>
<p>Feel better GAMOM!! You’ve been so helpful to everyone this year! I hope that you being on this forum is a good sign and you are getting better!</p>
<p>so i got up today (early)
hoping- just hoping that they might have sent the email
nope… no email… i CANNOT wait til 5- my heart will fail because it will be pouding too fast the whole day
and im suprised i got some sleep
i wanted to pull my hair out last night
again good luck</p>
<p>Happy World AIDS day!</p>
<p>The day is finally here!!!</p>
<p>Yeah, go on meebo but make sure to post here also so we can help next year’s applicants. :)</p>
<p>Welcome to December 1st.</p>
<p>Let’s lay out what we know. From last year’s threads, my emails with my cordial QB contact, other CC users emails from QB, and the webpage, we do know or can conclude this:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Everyone gets an email with yes or no. Last year, those emails went out at almost exactly 5pm PST or 8pm EST. There appear to have been some stray earlier emails, so this is not a hard and fast rule. Also, an email from QB posted by another user stated that decisions should be out BY 5pm PST. With any luck, they will go out earlier, but be prepared to wait until 8pm EST.</p></li>
<li><p>Some students get phone calls. Last year, the phone calls started at about 2pm PST or 5pm EST, with a few strays.</p></li>
<li><p>Getting a phone call is a good thing. Not getting a phone call is NOT a bad thing. QB team members are allowed to call Matchees who are Matched at their alma mater. For example, if a woman at the QB office is a Pomona grad (I’m making this up), she can call the Pomona Matchees. As per last year’s thread, it does not appear that everyone who gets Matched at a school gets a call. Keep that in mind because someone here might get a call about a school, and you might get the email.</p></li>
<li><p>THERE ARE NO REJECTIONS. Knowing on December 1st is great. For some schools, the FA package for the Match is better than the RD prospects. But remember, the worst case scenario today is deferral WITH serious consideration in the RD round - never forget how high the QB acceptance rate is over all. The magic of QB will be here by April 1st. If you need a reminder, read the 2008 thread.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Ahhh! It’s finally here!</p>
<p>Hey, does anyone know if you DO get the call but you aren’t there to take it, do they leave a message? Did someone actually get notified via answering machine in previous years? Or do they call cell phones over landlines?</p>
<p>Because my apartment doesn’t have internet set up yet, and I’ll be gone all evening so I won’t be there to take the call (if it comes! -crosses fingers-) D:</p>
<p>is it only me that feeling like wanting to throw up all this morning</p>
<p>i have an idea… why doesn’t everyone log in to their qb account and see if application forwarding is available? if for someone, it’s not, then maybe it means they got it. if it’s available for everyone, it’s a failed idea…</p>
<p>mia12, that doesn’t work because some of us have been probably been Matched at non-binding schools, so we’ll use application forwarding. Plus, there’s no reason for them to remove it just because you got Matched - you just won’t use it.</p>
<p>It appears that if you do get a call but you miss it, they call the second number you entered. I also believe they tried to call back. If they do call back and you miss it twice, you will probably have to wait for the email. But I’m sure they will leave a message, meaning that you would have the glorious knowledge that you had been Matched SOMEWHERE.</p>
<p>Alright, my phone is on, turned up, and fully charged. GMail notifier is ready to go. Since the best I’d do today is half-ass any of my school work (I go to online school), I think I will make Christmas presents today.</p>
<p>Hey today the regular decision forwarding starts right? Can we modify our esays before we send them in?</p>
<p>I stayed up all nite wrapping christmas presents for my friends, recording a song for them. It really helped to kill time. I’m afraid If i won’t make the match, I’ll just be so depressed to do anything…</p>
<p>just a thought applicannot.</p>
<p>bloody, no. it sends the app as is</p>
<p>I don’t know what I’m going to do with myself if I am not matched!</p>
<p>I’m very scared that because application forwarding is available to me, I wasn’t matched.</p>
<p>crap…my essays were really crappy, can I re apply through questbridge regular??</p>
<p>Oh and btw…sry rainbow…i dunt think you got in…im in same boat as you :(</p>
<p>is application forwarding available to everyone right now? it is for me, and I’m not sure whether to be depressed or not</p>
