<p>SOMEBODY help me ;(</p>
<p>Okay, so I am forwarding my applications for questbridge. The schools that I am reapplying to accepts the QB application in lieu of the common app. However, they need the supplements such as teacher recomendations and secondary school reports. Does that get automatically processed through the recommendations and counselor reports that I already turned in with QB in november???</p>
<p>HELPPPP</p>
<p>I have the same question as catchthesky.</p>
<p>QUESTION: For schools that automatically consider you for RD (like columbia and princeton), do we still need to have Questbridge forward our apps to them??</p>
<p>If it’s a school you ranked,yes. If not, you might want to email them and ask, but it’s likely that you’ll have to resend those items.</p>
<p>leproxyl: what do they say under their regular decision info? you still have to forward it i think, it just automatically checks it off. but yes, i would still forward them.</p>

<p>^^This is the question of the hour. Do the recommendations and ssr get forwarded or not? Can’t find the answer anywhere else, or I wouldn’t ask.</p>
<p>@natim1: Don’t worry about it; I was not directing any of my comments towards anybody.</p>
<p>@rainbowcandy: I am quite certain that the recommendations and school reports are forwarded, but perhaps somebody else can confirm this.</p>
<p>they don’t get forwarded. colleges know the qb app includes all that, but they say and ssr, teacher recs, etc from the common app for a reason</p>
<p>you have to resend them to the schools that ask for it…
i.e. stanford, princeton, etc</p>
<p>some, like yale and notre dame, dont list anything, meaning they just use the ones from ur qb app</p>
<p>Just skimmed the last 20 pages or so on this thread and wish I hadn’t. Why can’t everyone realize that scholarship opportunities like QB offer students a chance at getting an education they otherwise wouldn’t get and leave it at that?</p>
<p>Anyway, I have a question that is similar to the ones above me. Regarding the teacher recs, secondary school reports, etc., if these colleges require these supplementary materials to be resent, how does one go about re-sending them? Also, is there any way I can use the teacher/counselor recs submitted to QB for the common apps to non-QB schools? Thanks.</p>
<p>^ my answer was a little vague…</p>
<p>everything is forwarded, YES…
BUT some schools don’t accept the forwarded forms w the qb app,
hence they ask for their own copies.</p>
<p>chinaman545: The only way to get your QB teacher/counselor recs onto your common App for non-QB schools is to either have them upload it online to Common App or have them mail it to the non-QB schools.</p>
<p>As for the forwarding, I don’t see why everything wouldn’t be forwarded. It is possible the schools use the QB app for fee waiver purposes and don’t really look at the QB app. It is in a different format than all the other apps they are reading, which will give them extra work. The Common App, Supplement, and Common App rec forms are relatively simpler than the cluttered QB apps (those nasty cover pages get forwarded too, no? Faxed documents never look as good as the digital Common App version or a mailed copy).</p>
<p>Does anyone here have CSS Fee Waiver code that they won’t be using?
My mom got laid off just last week 
and we are really struggling financially.
I would sincerely appreciate it if anyone could sympathize with my situation and PM me their fee waiver…
Thank you everyone for your consideration.</p>
<p>You do not have to since they automatically consider you for regular decision. If you look at their requirements, they stated that they do not need the questbridge application in lieu.</p>
<p>Just wanted to let any non-finalists who might still notice this thread on occassion know that, if you are interested in Brown, they WILL waive your application fee. Despite what the RD table says, the admissions officer’s reply is below:</p>
<p>Her response: </p>
<p>We will waive the application fee of $75 provided students indicate their QuestBridge affiliation in 2 places on the Common Application. Students can do so by going to the ‘Payments’ tab, clicking on ‘Fee Waiver Request,’ and selecting ‘Other.’ Then under the Academics section of the Common Application (below the Secondary School information) students should list “QuestBridge” as the community-based organization which provided them with college counseling. You do not need to submit any additional paperwork.</p>
<p>Sincerely,</p>

<p>Coordinator of Minority Recruitment</p>

<p>Ok, so, on the things that say they may rescind their offer if your academic standards drop, what kind of “drop” are we talking about? Because, say we have a 4.0, they don’t expect us to maintain a 4.0 do they? SO, just how low can I go?</p>
<p>natim1: I’m guessing they don’t want to see C’s and D’s. A few B’s are probably okay, but you should maintain your grades the first semester for the sake of a good midyear report.</p>
<p>yeah, of course. i’m doing my best. but im talking about 2nd semester.</p>
<p>I miss when this thread was positive and when there would be a page of posts an hour. If only life weren’t so busy for all of us again (if only I weren’t procrastinating).</p>
<p>I agree completely with applicannot…Going back to last year’s Q-bridge thread, the post-notification season wasn’t as bitter as this year’s :(</p>
<p>I hope that it’ll pick up again in these next few weeks, with RD deadlines rolling around and whatnot. We need to get back to mutually coaching each other through the application process everyone!</p>
<p>im a qb finalist who ranked all the rd schools that im doing…
so the ones that automatically put me through rd process if i dont get matched in cm- those I dont have to do anything…
but for those that dont automatically get matched with: what do i have to do?
today brown sent me a email saying: </p>
<p>We have received a number of phone calls and emails from QuestBridge students who have questions about applying Regular Decision to Brown University. The two most common questions are about what materials they need to submit and what is the fee waiver process for Regular Decision applications. Below is some information that we hope will prove useful:</p>
<p>How Can I Have the Regular Decision Application Fee Waived?</p>
<p>We will waive the application fee of $75 provided students indicate their QuestBridge affiliation in 2 places on the Common Application. Students can do so by going to the Payments tab, clicking on Fee Waiver Request, and selecting Other. Then under the Academics section of the Common Application (below the Secondary School information) students should list QuestBridge as the community-based organization which provided them with college counseling. You do not need to submit any additional paperwork.</p>
<p>What Materials Do I Need to Supply For Regular Decision process?</p>
<p>**Regular Decision applicants must resubmit the official high school transcript **and the teacher letters of recommendation that were originally submitted for the QuestBridge application. You must also complete the Common Application and Brown Supplement to the Common Application, but you may reuse your QuestBridge application essays on the Common Application and Supplement. </p>
<p>so even if i ranked brown in the cm i have to resubmit my transcript?
ALL the rd schools are the ones that i ranked for cm
help please!</p>
<p>i actually answered my own question:
brown only needs the common application- FOR FINALISTS WHO RANKED BROWN IN THE COLLEGE MATCH DOES NOT NEED TO SEND THEIR TRANSCRIPTS!! (its only if u didnt rank them)</p>
