<p>Do i have to do mid year school report???</p>
<p>haha: yes
and to the ppl complaining about the ppl complaining, don’t u think their complaints are SOMEWHAT justified? I mean, is it really so bad that they’re a bit disappointed they didn’t get their first choice?</p>
<p>if you make 60k or less, you have a GREAT chance at getting a full ride to any school with a nice endowment…</p>
<p>Are the midyear reports & the common apps for schools that require it… due by the RD deadline or the dec. 15th questbridge deadline?</p>
<p>Anyone want to help finish this list of the # matches for each school?</p>
<p>Williams : 9
U of C: 23
Brown: 10
Stanford: 26
Northwestern: 12
Trinity: 7
Bowdoin: 5
Amherst: 8
UPenn: 14
Vassar: 9
Yale: 22
Swarthmore: 3
Notre Dame: 2
Haverford: 9
Princeton: 12</p>
<p>ALSO–if we were matched to an un-binding school but didn’t get MIT, anyone know how we make sure we’re included in the EA pool?</p>
<p>emcc:u cant, only rd</p>
<p>@PathofWind - No, you would not be required to submit your teacher recommendation again.</p>
<p>I’m very happy that MIT is allowing us to apply EA and get our decisions in 2 weeks. Congrats to those of you who were matched.</p>
<p>Congratulations to this year’s Quest Scholars! </p>
<p>Any of those matched to Haverford College, feel free to PM me. I’m sure you’ll have many questions, and I’d be happy to talk to all of you over the winter break after final exams. Freshman year at Haverford is rough!</p>
<p>I know it is painful to hear those of us who got Matched complain. But remember this. This hasn’t sunk in yet. We haven’t come to terms with it. I don’t know about everyone, but even after the call, the acceptance letter… I can’t picture that. SilverLego probably can’t either. But like SilverLego, this is coming to terms with me. I’m like heck, what’s so different about WashU and Stanford? The weather. The money. That’s it. It looks like SilverLego is coming to the same conclusion, though I won’t put words in his mouth. This isn’t whole for us yet. We look and we KNOW we got Matched, but in our heads it might not mean anything yet. I think it’s okay for us to try to talk it out. This is group for support.</p>
<p>P.S. SilverLego, I want to chat with another Stanford matchee! If you have AIM, my screenname is the same as my username!</p>
<p>Someone decide whether we should post our stats in here or if we should post an official QB decisions thread. If we create an official QB decisions thread, those who use their QB apps RD - as well as finalists who apply to non-partner schools - can also consolidate their results there. I feel as though that would be more useful for next year’s applicants. Also, add some line breaks between the sections in the template to make things easier on our eyes.</p>
<p>Match to Pomona anyone? :)</p>
<p>Can you post your stats
as well as others that were matched to stanford
thanks for your time</p>
