<p>About student contribution: you can pay it through work-study, with money from other sources like scholarships, or with loans. I am trying for some scholarships and I am going to work a lot over the summer to try to save up. My brother got loans to cover his. The work-study usually pays really well (about twice what I make per hour now) and you are only allowed to work a certain number of hours per semester.</p>

6065

<p>Not all work-study jobs pay well. They only have to pay minimum wage. At Stanford the work study minimum wage is $11.30, much higher than the state minimum wage. That isn’t true everywhere.</p>

6066

<p>Happy April Fools’ Day!</p>

6067

<p>I was just reading about work-study jobs at the QB schools I applied to. It seems like they all pay a lot more than I make now (minimum wage) but I don’t know about other schools. Anyway, there are several ways to pay your student contribution.</p>

6068

<p>I applied to Questbridge but i dont even know what it is… lol. I got it in the mail… I dont know if its a scholarship or a summer program.</p>

6069

<p>I got in Yale and Columbia RD through Questbridge.
Thanks QB!!!</p>

6070

<p>Rejected from all the Ivies I applied to. Amherst here I come :D</p>

6071

<p>I got rejected by all but one of my QB schools (yay, Northwestern!). So I’ll either be at Northwestern or Tulane…and I’m secretly rooting for Tulane because I liked it so much more when I visited. </p>

<p>I’m just so happy I’m done with the waiting for acceptances/waitlists/rejections. That was the worst. </p>

<p>We all made it!</p>

6072

<p>Updating for my Grandson:</p>

<p>Deciding between Harvard & Yale!</p>

<p>Thank you Questbridge!</p>

6073

<p>Got into Harvard, Yale, Columbia and Cornell haha</p>

<p>Rejected from Princeton, Brown, Penn</p>

<p>WL at Dartmouth</p>

6074

<p>YEEESSS!!! Awesome Questbridge!!! I got into Stanford MIT Yale and Princeton! Wooooot. And financial aid is awesome for all of them. XD Gaaah I really want to SIR to stanford and make this official.</p>

6075

<p>I got into princeton!!!</p>

6076

<p>Congratulations to all QB students. I know from experience (my D 2 years ago) that many of you *****ed and moaned over the extensive app. Then came the match, and many of you were disappointed. Now all acceptances are out and it seems everybody is happy! :slight_smile: </p>

<p>Whether it was you or your parents that pushed you too apply to QB, give them or yourself a big hug. It would be nice to send an e-mail to the nice folks at QB for all their help as well. They are a small staff and are obviously people who care about all of you and your future.</p>

<p>Good luck to all of you, and come back and help the next cycle of QB applicants.</p>

6077

<p>The QB office absolutely loves Thank You cards. I sent them one in December. Gosh… only a few more months before the next QB season begins (if you were like me, it didn’t start until September 23rd… LOL!). Those of us going to Stanford will be around… move in isn’t even until September 13th!</p>

6078

<p>ahhh i’m so confused! I turned in my QB Application March 29, 2010 but i have noooo idea what it is!!! lol. can someone explain? lol. am i part of the “questbridge season” lol.</p>

6079

<p>what did u apply for?</p>

6080

<p>Though I did not get into any QB schools, I am still happy that, because of QB, I finally realized that I accomplished many things despite being underprivileged. Feels great to get some recognition, eh?</p>

<p>Anyways, going to attend University of Rochester (My #1 college on “Colleges where I actually have a chance” list :slight_smile: )</p>

<p>Good luck for all of you in the future!</p>
