<p>honestly, that’s a sticky situation, bc they do say it’s a requirement
i think what you should do is call them and explain you’re situation and be like i can accept it that doesn’t give me as broad a range of info as other candidates but i’m not under the circumstances where i can take the tests</p>
<p>Is forwarding my Questbridge application really worth it? Because I had more time to work on my common, it’s a lot better than my QB app. Also, looking at the numbers QB schools have accepted, it seems that it’s a lot easier to get in EA or ED or RD than using the national college match or the QB regular decision. I forwarded my qb app to schools that asked me to, but not all of them. should i have forwarded to all of them or none of them instead?</p>
<p>Normal EA, ED, or RD applications are need blind…whereas questbridge…all our financial info is put on there…we’re needy. we’re expensive. colleges can only afford so many of us…so is it better to go with the need blind applications? or the qb applications?</p>
<p>in RD, QB is great for acceptance rates…
what i did is i forwarded to all schools that accept the QB app that i’m applying to
but not mentioning it for other schools (non QB)
but either way, ur gonna have to send ur financial info around february for financial aid, they’re going to know ur needy either way</p>
<p>@alpha123:
You got it wrong! Once you do not get matched to any colleges, colleges have no commitment to give you full rides in the Regular Round. So the QB applications wont appear to be “expensive” to colleges in the Regular Round.
If you feel that your Common App is better, go with it. Just remember to notice the colleges that ur not forwarding your QB app, and put a note on the Common App that ur a 2009 QuestBridge Finalist.</p>

<p>You can just take the subject tests on the January 23rd test date. That date isn’t too late for Brown and Princeton Regular Admission</p>
<p>SWitch and YStar, Thanks for the hope. Also applied MIT since it was non-binding will hear from them today. X Did forward application to a dozen more collages on the list. Forgot about the SAT expense, but what a savings not to have to pay the app fee. Grateful! Good luck guys!!!</p>
<p>Anyone know if teachers still have access to the recommendations they wrote just like we have access to our application?</p>
<p>My teacher’s HDD crashed and she lost the letter she wrote for me… QB is the only hope!</p>
<p>Zens: I think teachers have to create a QB account to submit your recommendation, so if your teacher logs in, he/she will probably be able to see the rec.</p>
<p>@Zens: Also, you can always call the QB team and ask if they have a copy they could send back to your teacher. They keep records of like…everything.</p>
<p>Also, are people at your schools getting into awesome places that just happen to be QB partners? People at my school are, and my hope is steadily diminishing. Yesterday 3 got into Yale and 2 deferred. 2 to Bowdoin. 1 to Oberlin. 1 to Columbia. 1 to Brown. 1 deferred from Penn…and so on. </p>
<p>GOD HELP ME.</p>
<p>MIT EA!!! THANK YOU QUESTBRIDGE!!!</p>
<p>There is hope for the nonmatched after all. Good luck to the rest of you! :D</p>
<p>Congrats ExcitedG!!!</p>
<p>deferred for MIT.
At least I dont feel like a loser anymore.
Let’s get a new fresh start.</p>
<p>GOT accepted to Williams ED! <3
thank you questbridge sniff sniff ;)</p>
<p>Mit ea!!! Questbridge rocks!!!</p>
<p>Congrazzz :D</p>
<p>btw
@Zens question,</p>
<p>Yes, your teachers and counselor have access to your QB rec. Even for other nonQB schools I just asked my teachers to print them and send them out.</p>
<p>I asked most colleges. They will accept QB rec as long as it has relevant info :D</p>
<p>Congrats guys! There is plenty of hope for everyone.</p>
<p>Congrats, all!</p>
<p>CONGRATS TO ALL WHO GOT ACCEPTED!!</p>
<p>idk what to do because i reallly dont want to go to princeton
but i do like columbia and i didnt even know that columbia needed sat subject until i was doing the college match- i never though i would apply to columbia until qb… because of all the application fees and everything…
ill call/email columbia about it and see what they say
and like u guys said my application is NOT complete without it :(</p>
<p>april cannot come any sooner</p>
<p>Hello all. I have a question about the fee waivers for non-QB schools. Does the fact that I’m a QB finalist mean that I have fee waivers for both QB and non-QB schools or is it only QB schools? If being a QB finalist doesn’t guarantee fee waivers from non-QB schools, how do I get fee waivers for those non-QB schools?</p>
<p>Also, my family decided that I should apply to Brown last night. I didn’t forward my QB app to Brown, seeing as the deadline to do so was 2 nights ago. Should I email Brown and let them know that I am a QB finalist? Or will putting QB finalist on the common app be sufficient?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
