National College Match - 2009-2010

<p>So if you already sent out your supplements for the earlier match program, do I need to send them out again for the regular?</p>

<p>fbtkdrbs: Look at the QuestBridge site for [Regular</a> Decision requirements](<a href=“http://www.questbridge.org/students/post_match.html]Regular”>http://www.questbridge.org/students/post_match.html) for each individual college. Some of them don’t require any extra work, some require the Common App and Supplement, and some require only a supplement.</p>

<p>Ok i received an email from Notre Dame and they said they have my admission decision ready for Early Action, but it says on QB that non-match finalist are moved to Regular Decision. I’m Confused.</p>

<p>^ I GOT THE SAME THING! it also said that the chance of acceptance is rly high. i’m just gonna go with it, esp. since its nice to know at least one school that you’re into at this point…</p>

<p>p.s. QB ppl, fwong has a point. i didn’t get matced either, but i did what most people did: cry and then move on. we still have RD apps to worry about, and FYI complaining about how race affects match rates isn’t going to the change the fact that you weren’t matched…</p>

<p>Leadgirl:</p>

<p>I really hope this means good news.</p>

<p>FWONG: </p>

<p>Thanks for being reasonable. We are all still amazing candidates for admission and will all be going somewhere Amazing. I wasn’t Matched and it was no body’s fault. I see this as the beginning.</p>

<p>Has any unmatched finalist received an email from Notre Dame asking you if you want to be considered for early action? The qb website says that unmatched Finalists cannot apply early action to ND but ND asked me if i am interested in receiving an early action decision.</p>

<p>iBleedCrimson: If you look at page 379 of this thread, there are a couple of people on the bottom who got the same email you did. If Notre Dame asked you if you want to be considered for Early Action, then I guess you can be considered for EA, as the QB website doesn’t always reflect the most updated procedures.</p>

<p>—oops nvm my first question ^^; I reread the email from QB-------</p>

<p>I have a question about applying RD to Penn. The Penn FAQ says:
Yes. If you are a Finalist who ranked Penn as one of your top eight schools but were not matched through the National College Match process, Penn will automatically consider you in the Regular Decision process >>>>>You do not need to submit any further materials<<<<<< </p>

<p>But then the regular decision table says that I need to submit common app supplements, etc. if I’m a finalist…which is correct?</p>

<p>anybody else doing uchicago for early action?
how many questbridge applicants did uchicago take aside from the college match?
do they like qb applicants?</p>

<p>Just to be sure, the email Yale sent out to unmatched finalists went out to all of them, right?</p>

<p>i am me: I think only the people who ranked Yale got one.</p>

<p>raechelli - the regular decision table that you are referring to pertains to regular decision applicants who didn’t apply to Penn through College Match.</p>

<p>Ugh. It’s 3:30 AM. I woke up early to study calculus and I find myself drifting back to this forum. I = lunatic.
I wish I’d have gotten in through College Match. I’m not all that devastated about not making it, but if I did I would be so much happier.</p>

<p>and Yellowstar - I would love to apply to UChic EA but I didn’t choose them in my Match list.</p>

<p>General Comments: Good luck to everyone on the college admissions process. and congrats to the other match recipients.</p>

<p>will you guys be checking off to forward apps that are said to be automatically forwarded? (i.e. - columbia)</p>

<p>so, what if we aren’t sure where we’re going to school, do we still reply to the qb scholars mentor email?</p>

<p>Sure. What harm could it do? It could be an opportunity to learn more about the school.</p>

<p>natim1, did you get my pm? did you ever respond back to QB with an email? Just wondering, thanks :D</p>

<p>If you guys have some free time, can more Asian QB matched finalists put up their stats?
Thanks</p>

<p>yeah tom, sorry, i didn’t realize there was a question.</p>
