<p>yellowstar? is that true? are you positive?</p>
<p>now im second doubting myself…
i just emailed them and hopefully they will get back to me by tomorrow so i will post what they say tomorrow.
sorry guys (this is SOOO confusing)</p>
<p>My recommendations for the common application are different from my QB recommendations. Can I use my common app recommendations for Brown’s application or do I have to have my QB recommendations submitted to common app?</p>
<p>spiritualwitch:
i would recommend using your common application recommendations:
worst that could happen- they get qb and common app recommendations
if u used the same people the qb and common app recommendations are basically the SAME thing</p>
<p>do you think colleges hold different standard for people applying through QB and RD people? Like, for example, do you think they set a separate pile for all QB applicants and select a certain percentage from that pool?</p>
<p>No, there is no certain percentage…no quotas. But they would recognize you as coming from a low-income family. Which is good :D</p>
<p>Sorry I might of missed this question</p>
<p>Do I still need to forward app to princeton even though they wanted the common app?</p>
<p>“Thank you for your interest in Princeton University. We recently learned from QuestBridge that you were matched with another institution. Congratulations on this achievement. Since your match is binding, we are withdrawing your application from consideration in our applicant pool. Please let us know immediately if you are not intending to complete your match.”</p>
<p>What does that last sentence imply? We will turn a blind eye on your capricious denial of an agreement? Interesting.</p>
<p>Can some one explain to me how important SAT test is? I have a high gpa (3.9) but low SAT score . I was nervous most of the time and I’m not good at testing. Do ya think colleges cut off applciations just because of test score? I’m trying to retake the Dec test but they cancelled bc of snowing…I’m mad</p>
<p>Quick Question</p>
<p>Did you guys send additional transcripts, or did the transcript with the SSR on the Common App suffice?</p>
<p>so like i promised i emailed brown about the whole rd thing and here is what they told me:</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>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>Elizabeth A. Hart</p>
<p>so basically ms. hart just copied and pasted the email from yesterday onto my email
but we got an official answer
you have to submit:
-transcript (again)
-letters of recommendation
-common app with supplement
-anything else you failed to send them during the college match process</p>
<p>the transcript with the secondary school report on the common app is good (but only for the schools that require common app)</p>
<p>This is ridiculous. Does anyone know if even a single person got matched to Columbia?</p>
<p>Don’t think anyone was matched to Caltech. Not certain though.</p>
<p>^^^^^^</p>
<p>Of course there were people matched to Columbia and Caltech. Are they on CC? Maybe not. CC is only a small sampling of matched students. Wasn’t there 260 or so this year (don’t know the exact #) and obviously they are not all here.</p>
<p>Please everybody remember if you were a finalist, you have a 60% chance of being matched to one of your QB schools. Considering the admittance rate at all of them, those are GREAT odds. </p>
<p>Many of you have been asking questions, then coming back a few posts later, and asking the same question again. Think about it, the people you are asking have the same concerns you do! Ask the school in question. Do you really want to ask questions re apps, secondary’s, rec’s, etc. from another HS senior? Be proactive and ask the school yourself.</p>
<p>Or, you could just ask endless questions of others that don’t know anything more than you.</p>
<p>You make the call, then wonder why your file wasn’t complete at any given school.</p>
<p>This forum is great for all of you to be supportive, but as far as your apps go, do the research of your questions yourself. Do you really want to rely on a poster on CC giving you incorrect information to affect your chance at a school that may offer you $200,000 in grants?</p>
<p>can I send the colleges another letter of recommendation?</p>
<p>to those people who are applying to trinity or wesleyan through rd:</p>
<p>a secondary school report is required for both colleges, but there isn’t a form on their website. do they look at the one that we sent through the questbridge app, or do we need to fill out the form from the common app?</p>
<p>If I’m forwarding my apps for RD decision but I want to update my awards section of my app, should I e-mail the admissions office?</p>
<p>After being matched to a QB partner binding school, I received this letter from Princeton:
“Thank you for your interest in Princeton University. We recently learned from QuestBridge that you were matched with another institution. Congratulations on this achievement. Since your match is binding, we are withdrawing your application from consideration in our applicant pool. Please let us know immediately if you are not intending to complete your match.”</p>
<p>Should I consider the last sentence in the letter as an invitation to apply to Princeton RD (likely letter sort of)? My teacher suggests me to ask my counselor to call the admission officer who wrote this and ask for: 1) what is the true intent of the last sentence? 2) would I have greater chance admitted by Princeton?</p>
<p>I know that some QB finalists would accept the match readily and not mind any other offer if they were in my place. However, my match school is not my top choice. Nevertheless, there is one problem: should my match school be aware of me applying to other school RD, it would definitely take back its full-ride award. My parents “ordered” me not to fancy about other schools and jeopardizing the offer I already have.</p>
<p>Please give me some advices.</p>
<p>@frozen: Your match is binding. While there is some speculation about what happens if your match is binding and you want to apply elsewhere, I’m pretty sure it does violate the match agreement and could result in your match status being withdrawn. Where were you matched?</p>
