National College Match - 2009-2010

<ol>
<li>How do we “indicate clearly” that we are QB finalists if schools dont provide a space on their supplement? I mean, i read on the thread that you can just click “other” and be done as long as you put QB for programs that helped you in common application. But i remember couple school stated that they want you to indicated on the supplement as well. </li>
<li>for notre dame and northwestern, you can just forward the QB application and only need to fill out the supplements from CommonApp. Do we still pay and go through the fee waiver request? B/C all my teacher rec and school forms are on common application already</li>
<li>for rice, its basically the same question as above. But it posted a QB supplement on questbridge. BUt i need to use the Common Application since, again, all my rec and schools forms are on there</li>
</ol>

<p>please help
thanks :)</p>

<p>Can we reuse our Questbridge essays for the Amherst and Trinity supplements? If I sent them in with reused essays, would they not consider my application?</p>

<p>rra, that will be fine. in fact, most colleges (like brown and yale) said they suggest we reuse the essays we did.</p>

<p>Okay, but specifically for Amherst and Trinity (or Caltech, for example) - they never directly stated that we could reuse old essays. Plus, Amherst and Trinity are substituting the QB app for theirs, but they still require a supplement. I mean, at this point I’m just going to reuse old essays - I just hope it doesn’t hurt me!</p>

<p>@blahbleh: I just wrote QuestBridge on the top of the paper supplement. I’m sending in my supplements through the mail, as requested by the colleges in emails (Vassar, Haverford, and Amherst).</p>

<p>hey, is anyone else using his/her qb essay for supplemental essays for qb partner schools? :/</p>

<p>for example, mine’s perfect for princeton’s… but i don’t want them to think i’m a slacker and don’t want to write another essay. but then again i don’t want the adcoms to faint from reading 5-6 essays about me :p</p>

<p>Are you e-mailing your supplement somewhere, submitting it through common app, or mailing it to the office? The response to my e-mail Ms. Jordan said “If you have not filled out and returned the Emory Common Application supplement, we will need that information. You can access it on our website or through Common Application directly.”
Does that mean we can submit it through common app?
Then in the general e-mail it said "# Submit the Emory supplement with short answer essay. You will find the pdf by clicking here, or visit our website at [Emory</a> University Office of Undergraduate Admission](<a href=“Admission | Emory University | Atlanta GA”>Admission | Emory University | Atlanta GA) and follow the “Apply to Emory” link. "
So they want the PDF? What are you doing? I’m thinking of just mailing it to be safe.</p>

<p>For the indication of being a Questbridge Finalist I just put “Questbridge National College Match Finalist” under the awards section of the Common App. You guys think this will suffice?</p>

<p>@Dell4573: I think that’s fine. That’s what I did. There’s also a section that asks you if you had any additional help with your college process and you can select QuestBridge from the box of choices. </p>

<p>@blahbleh:

  1. I said QB helped me and also said I was a QB Finalist in the honors/awards section.</p>

<p>@makeamanoutofyou: That’s what I did :D</p>

<p>I know other people have been asking too…Can we submit the Northwestern supplement through the commonapp?? My post office is closed tomorrow and it just snowed so the roads are really bad.</p>

<p>I’m assuming that submitting the Northwestern supplement through the commonapp is fine. Under the Finalist column of the RD table it says:</p>

<p>Is the application fee waived?<br>
Yes. If submitting the QuestBridge application, fee waiver is automatic. If using the Common App, indicate clearly that you are a QuestBridge finalist.</p>

<p>So using the commonapp is fine I guess.</p>

<p>Did anyone who forwarded the QB app to Northwestern get an email from them?</p>

<p>^I did about a week later but nothing related to QB I think.</p>

<p>@ raechelli: that makes me feel much better! :)</p>

<p>@raechelli, thanks. do you think i’ll be okay if i attached “QB finalist” as part of my extra info? </p>

<p>@muffinish, i didn’t get anything from NW after i forwarded my application.</p>

<p>If I got accepted to a school early decision as a Quesbtridge finalist, how much financial aid do you think they’ll cover? Will it be more generous than a non QB student?</p>

<p>hahaha wow I wish I’d known about this forum BEFORE I went through all the QB **** alone. lawwwlll. Pretty sure I had like, every single one of these questions… ;p</p>

<p>I am a finalist who didn’t get accepted to Upenn through the college match.
But my penn portal says “Outstanding Application Materials” (on the first page). Does this “outstanding” mean anything? Anyone else have the same thing?</p>

<p>^^^o lol, nvm, disregard that post^^^^</p>

<p>I’ve finally submitted everything except the FAFSA, which I can’t submit until I get my mom’s W-2 :(. Just think, it’s almost over!</p>
