National College Match - 2009-2010

<p>To all of you who did not get matched: be upset for a day or two, then move on! I know this advice would have been hard for me to take had I not been matched, but fate knows what it’s doing. For example, I had a family emergency, and I had to move to SOUth Dakota a couple of months ago. Had I not been matched, I owuld have been screwed for teacher recommendations and pretty much everything else. Have faith that the people who got matched deserved/needed it and that you will end up where you belong.</p>

<p>Also, I’m not a minority. </p>

<p>I’m so excited! MIT has been my top chioce school for YEARS!</p>

<p>fufufishie should send me a PM. We should be friends on facebook!</p>

<p>Congratulations everybody!</p>

Yeah, I’m in Stanford, but I really had my heart set on MIT. :slight_smile: </p>

I forgot about the rule that said no applying EA. I just assumed for a moment that since the match process is over and Stanford is non-binding I’d be allowed to do it. I guess I’ll have to wait…</p>

<p>Can we apply to Stanford Early Action if we ranked it and did not get matched to any school through QB?</p>

<p>Early action is over</p>

<p>I got a call from MIT even though I didn’t get matched to any of the schools I ranked about early action and regular decision. Did anyone else who ranked MIT but didn’t get in anywhere get a call?</p>

<p>How many people got matched to northwestern?
I really wanted to go there</p>

<p>Congrats to everyone who got Matched!!! And good luck to those who will be doing Regular Decision, I hope you all get in!!!</p>

<p>So…since I got matched to Princeton, I’m only planning on applying to like 3-4 other schools. But, I’ve submitted the other apps already, but haven’t sent SAT scores (EXPENSIVE), do I need to withdraw my app? Or just let it stay uncompleted?</p>

<p>Wait the MIT email says to submit another math/science teacher. Since I submitted a math and a science teacher to questbridge does that mean MIT wants me to send a humanities teacher recommendation for EA? Or am I good without a humanities teacher?</p>

<p>I am not trying to insult anyone who got matched
But people, seriously,
People here are complaining because of the school they got matched with.
If you don’t like it, then give it up
I do not think you guys realize the opportunity you guys have just been given.
I would love to get a free education even if its anywhere. Stop complaining, you got the chance, not the rest of us.
All of this complaining is just making me so mad and frustrated, you guys should be happy not upset.</p>

<p>hi all,
yale - 22 of us it says. it’s my first choice and i’m a very very happy person.
All I want to say is thank you so much for all of your help and kindness. you guys are the best! And those who will be applying RD, i know for a fact that many of you are twice the better student and person than I am. I know. And I know it’s unfair, but college admission IS arbitrary. And you’re all amazing people to even be finalists. you guys rock period.
Make me proud in RD. And remember, what’s important is what you do in college and how use your school’s resources! Thank you so much!</p>

<p>Also, I think it’s important that we all post our stats for next year’s group. Does anyone know the template. I adore you guys, and I’ve barely even talked to you. :slight_smile: Please smile and breathe. Breathe.</p>

<p>Accepted to Stanford! Nice job you all :)</p>

<p>^ there’s a thread for yale scea 2014 decisions on the yale board :slight_smile: congrats, btw!</p>

<p>rejected. </p>

<p>although its not so bad because i did not really expect to be matched considering the statistical probability, but like everyone else i did have some glimmer of hope that i could have been matched</p>

<p>i am just thankful that i could apply to these colleges for free, paying the application fees for all these private schools is like a large chunk of change</p>

<p>can everyone please post their stats who were matched and how many were matched at those schools?</p>

<p>Going to be real honest, I’m very not fond of people saying the school they matched with was their second choice or last choice. YOU HAVE A FULL RIDE TO ONE OF THE BEST COLLEGES IN THE NATION. you are so lucky so shut up.</p>

<p>Yay another Stanford!</p>

<p>I was looking through the course catalog tonight and it hit me. This is real. </p>

<p>Tomorrow, I’m withdrawing my RD apps except for WUStL. It feels so good.</p>

<p>If someone posts a template, I will post my stats.</p>

<p>although im going into depression i didnt get matched i know i didnt have a chance at these schools anyways…my one downfall is my SAT scores…<em>sigh</em></p>

<p>but with the glimmer of hope that i’ll get into northwestern, penn, amherst, or vassar would anyone be willing to read my supplement essays and edit/give suggestions?</p>

<p>im trying to look on the bright side here-free fee waivers, other than that i got nothin…</p>

<p>I’m getting more excited at the thought of going to Stanford. I’m forgetting why exactly I was dead-set on MIT. marigabynq and bklee1 completely right. I should just be happy I got into a school at all. </p>

<p>I was looking through their site and some dorm information just now. Like applicannot said, it’s feeling a lot more real now! :)</p>

<p>Thank you QuestBridge!!</p>

<p>A question for any Yale Matchees or Yale Match Applicants… do you think it would be wise for me to apply to yale again via RD? I mean, during the Match Process I wasn’t contacted for an interview, and I live in NYC :confused: Not a good sign IMHO…but I was wondering if you guys would think its wise to apply via RD.</p>
