National College Match - 2009-2010

<p>For the schools that require supplements, but not the common app, can we still submit those through the common app instead of snail mail?</p>

<p>@driscol, I have the same question (ex. notre dame). I submitted all of mine through the common application b/c my couselor rec, school forms, and teacher recs are on the common application already.</p>

<p>Seems like Rice was the only one for me that I couldn’t do online. Just put the forms in the mailbox. Hopefully I’m not too late seeing how the post office is closed tomorrow.</p>

<p>I haven’t been here forever and it seems to be flooded with questions. But Happy Palindrome Day anyways!!</p>

<p>isn’t every day for the next week palindrome “day”? plus the 11th and 22nd?</p>

<p>Hey has anyone received a TAP request in the mail? It says HESC on the top. If you have then you’ll know what I’m talking about.</p>

<p>Does that mean that the school who sent you the request actually wants you? Cause that
would be pretty damn epic.</p>

<p>@catch, no, the financial aid will be the same.</p>

<p>Ok, for anyone who got matched to a school that doesnt have regular early admissions, the QB email said that the school would mail you a likely letter. Well, I got a ltter from my school, but it was congratulating me on the match and my package and all that, but wasn’t what I’d call a liekly letter (in the typical, non QB sense). Should I have gotten a letter like that?</p>

<p>does any one know when in january the Quest for Excellence Awards will be announced?</p>

<p>natim1, the letter you got is the likely letter for the QB match students.</p>

<p>Do Finalists still qualify for automatic fee waiver to schools that they did not rank, wish to apply reg decision, but chose not to forward their QB application to? For example, under the Oberlin Regular Decisions Table it states, “Include fee waiver request in letter regarding use of the QuestBridge application.” Should I go ahead and email the school or write the letter requesting the use of the QB fee waiver even though I did not forward the QB app? Thanks.</p>

<p>are all schools able to view the list of schools being sent FAFSA and CSS Profiles?</p>

<p>chinaman545: It might depend on the school, but I’m pretty most, if not all, schools who give fee waivers to Finalists will allow them to use the fee waiver even if they don’t forward their QB apps. Northwestern for example allows the fee waiver for Finalists who apply using the commonapp, even though they accept the QB app for regular admissions. You might want to call the schools and ask to get a direct answer though.</p>

<p>hmm, okay, you guys, as QB applicants, tell me whether or not because of the winky face, if this is condescending, or, could definitely be construed as such. (Person 2’s comments)</p>

<p>person 1: “How I envy the QuestBridge applicants”
person 2: “yeah but only in the college application process ;)”</p>

<p>"are all schools able to view the list of schools being sent FAFSA and CSS Profiles? "</p>

<p>That would really kind of stink. But I don’t think so.</p>

<p>Thank you, rainbowcandy.</p>

<p>natim1, I wouldn’t consider that condecending at all. It’s frankly the truth. I wouldn’t even consider QB applicants enviable in the admissions process.</p>

<p>Person 2 acknowledges and respects the fact that Questbridge Finalists have persevered through unenviable, socio-economic challenges in life, outside of the college admissions process. ;D</p>

<p>Did anyone have to do an interview with their matched school AFTER being matched? Because I just got asked one, but I don’t think she knew I was matched…</p>

<p>See, I don’t agree that he/she does respect what the Finalists have gone through. I believe that the :wink: makes it seem like, haha, sucks for them.</p>
