<p>Wow, anima sana and laestudiante - you guys are Gods. Let me bow before you. You guys definitely worked hard for the Match. And looking at some of your ECs, it looks like you had fun doing it, too.</p>
<p>Reasons why life is good right now:</p>
<ol>
<li>I got into Stanford.</li>
<li>I might have just sweet-talked someone into flying me to CA after Christmas to visit the school.</li>
</ol>
<p>hey guys so i was wondering (im filling out the common app) is being a questbridge finalist a honor? like i put ap scholar, honor rolll ect… but i dont know if this “honors” area is the appropriate place for questbridge</p>
<p>HELP HELP!!
Do i have to send secondary school report to all binding schools? (Scripps,Bowdoin,Oberlin,ND, EMORY,Northwestern)
Should I send the Common APP to them also? I already mailed some of the supplement in the earlier round.</p>
<p>do you guys think it’s better to apply ED into Northwestern or EA into Caltech and MIT? I feel like my chances of getting into Northwestern are higher because they won’t look at my horrendous SAT2 scores…(650 Chem, 580 Math2). I have a 30 on my ACT and declared Chemical Engineering (I know, with those SAT2 scores…) as my major. Northwestern doesn’t require me to send my SAT2 if I send in ACT, which I think is a major plus since my scores are really low.</p>
<p>I’m retaking the same subjects this Saturday, but standardized tests are definitely the death of me…</p>
<p>which school is of little importance to me…i just need to get in somewhere with generous financial aid…</p>
<p>thank you!</p>
<p>hahasassy:
i emailed bowdoin yesterday asking if they prefer i send the common application or my questbridge application. they said "Molly,</p>
<p>If we have already received your Questbridge application, we would be happy to use that one. You need not send the Common Application.</p>

<p>so yeah im sticking with the quetsbridge app for partner schools</p>
<p>shoot i hope that answered what you were asking…</p>
<p>ok RD question:</p>
<p>How do i submit supplements to these schools? the forms that can be printed off on Questbridge are essentially common app forms and if questbirdge submits my application for me how do i sumbit the supplement?</p>
<p>@mollybusk
Thank you, I finished the supplements for the rest and mailed it today. What can I do now? DO I HAVE TO SUBMIT ANYTHING ELSE if QB FORWARDS MY APPLICATION to SCRIPPS, OBERLIN,BOWDOIN,ND,EMORY,NW)?</p>
<p>and for Bowdoin supplements , just print them out and mail to:</p>
<p>Admissions Office
Bowdoin College,
5000 College Station
Brunswick, ME 04011-8441.</p>
<p><em>IF you already submit supplements for some school on NOVEMBER 2nd, i think you need not to redo it for example Notre Dame, NW, and Emory. it automatically moves to RD . BUT I’ll email all admission officers to make sure.Please correct me if i’m wrong</em></p>
<p>new topic:
what about secondary school report for binding schools? do I submit the COMMON APP version or do nothing since I submitted it through QB earlier?</p>
<p>So I’m good without a humanities teacher rec? Thanks</p>
<p>This thread is busting with questions…oh well…here’s mine:</p>
<p>Does MIT send out a confirmation email regarding whether they received our emails with our options?</p>
<p>Yes! I’m not taking AP exams this year. Money, time, and effort saved.</p>
<p>I registered for Questbridge, and have been receiving emails from them. I am correct in assuming that this counts as “receiving assistance” from them for college application purposes?</p>
<p>Do the recommendations get forwarded with the questbridge app?</p>
<p>Caltech does not accept EA anymore. They just sent me an email. Only Northwestern and MIT are accepting ED(EA for MIT) forwarded applications from QB applicants.</p>
<p>MIT accepted 80 finalists during the EA and RD round. (this information came from the MIT QuestBridge team.) Everyone has more hopes.</p>
<p>my hopes just went up!</p>
<p>@gregb: dont worry, we’ll go to Boston together.</p>
<p>Ok, so I got matched to Princeton (#2 choice), but was rejected by Yale. I’m okay with that, but here’s what I want to know. Why was I accepted? My ECs are decent (president of some things, do 3-4 things that take a lot of time, but nothing AMAZING). And, I used my biographical essay from QB as my common app essay for Princeton and my supplementary essay was really great (it was funny, said a lot about me, was very ME). But, my biographical essay was pretty dark, or at least the topic was. I’ve asked ppl (online) what they think about it, and they’ve given me mixed reviews about the essay. 90% say that it’s good, it’s not self-pitying bc I talk about how Ive overcome things, but the other ppl say that I come off cold and that it’s not really the right place to talk about things like that (child abuse). So, did I get in just because of my sobstory essay? Should I use that essay again for the other schools I’m applying to?</p>
<p>So I wasn’t matched at any of my schools, but today I got this e-mail from Northwestern, maybe forty-five minutes ago. It starts like this…</p>
<p>Your QuestBridge application, academic credentials and letters of recommendations demonstrate your potential to make an impact at Northwestern University. We have no doubt you could thrive in our classrooms and within our student organizations. While we were not able to admit you through the QuestBridge match program, I am writing today to offer you admission to Northwestern University through either our Early Decision or Regular Decision program. Our offer assumes you will maintain your current academic success for the remainder of your senior year.</p>
<p>Does this mean that I’m into Northwestern for sure and I just need to decide if I want Early Decision? Or is this just a tantilizing thing?</p>
<p>Sorry, there’s a mess of questions…but here’s mine.</p>
