National College Match - 2009-2010

<p>applicanot: i know the qb schools do, but i was thinking about non qb schools (ie harvard).</p>

<p>No one goes to my chatroom anymore. :/</p>

<p>Dang I think I’m just going to fall back on my safety UC schools now. I’m hella underrepresented and if they didn’t want me then they probably don’t want me now. I don’t know why I even did MIT EA.</p>

<p>I didn’t know about the awards. That’s pretty awesome! But is it a thank you certificate or what? </p>

<p>MIT congratulated me on becoming a finalist but there was no mention of Stanford.</p>

<p>soo. what exactly are the excellent academic standards that i must maintain? cause im going to be honest, my gpa will be a 4.0 no longer…prob more like 3.8</p>

<p>excited. i was JUST in it! but i left bc no one else was in it</p>

<p>natim1, as long as you don’t start flunking classes I’m guessing you should be fine. A couple of B’s shouldn’t hurt. They probably just want to make sure you don’t just forget about school. I’ve heard stories about doing that…</p>

<p>Wov, how do schools like Rice etc get your information? Does Questbridge send them everything or just GPA and scores? I mean, I got an email from Rice (not to my Questbridge email, but my regular email) asking me to forward my application to them from Questbridge. I want to get the email from Williams :(</p>

<p>I’ve gotten a little paranoid. I’d like to know exactly what Questbridge is doing with my information.</p>

<p>maybe im just not reading carefully, but do we have to send midyr reports to the school we matched to? (specifically asking about princeton)</p>

<p>Yes, you would have to send it to Princeton. Schools always ask for midyear reports to make sure you’re not giving in to senioritis.</p>

<p>So I got an email from Williams, saying “Although you were not matched, we assure you that our review of your academic and extracurricular record suggests that you are a very competitive applicant for admission into elite institutions. I’m writing to explain how to apply to Williams College with no fees as an Early Decision or Regular Decision applicant.” </p>

<p>Do you think they’re saying that if I apply ED, I will be accepted?? Or was this an email that they sent out to everyone who ranked Wililams??</p>

<p>Also got an email from Yale to go head and do RD. Interestingly enough I got one from Williams even though I didn’t rank it. Does QB give your info to all QB schools?</p>

<p>Matchees!
What are you guys putting on your resumes/applications to mention QB?
I’m thinking “Quest Scholar” or “National Quest Scholar.” Hmmm</p>

<p>It doesn’t guarantee anything. It’s just sent to everyone. Some schools even gave it to finalists who didn’t rank their school. For example I got an email from Rice. But you are competitive if you got chosen as a finalist.</p>

<p>how many schools, excluding the ones you did for match, are you having QB forward your app to?</p>

<p>addressed to everyone btw (:</p>

<p>Regular decision application deadline is different for each school right? dec 15th is the decision to forward ur QB app or not right?</p>

<p>Did anyone else get matched to penn beside me and ccoe4400?</p>

<p>@ccoe4400: dude that’s awesome! are you definitely going there? where are you coming from?</p>

<p>I withdrew all but one application (and it was already completed) so I’m not updating anything to represent my Matched status.</p>

<p>I understand feeling hesitant, but I’m really surprised at how many Matched students are re-contemplating their Match, or who are applying to a number of other schools. I am applying to one other school, but I’m 92% sure I’m going to Stanford.</p>

<p>Hope to see you there Applicannot!!! XD</p>

<p>92% already? I’m getting there, too. Still somewhere in the 80s, but I’m surprised at how fast I’m coming to like the school.</p>

<p>The question about “did you apply before” did you guys check yes or no? if you guys are doing RD.</p>
