<p>dayum emcc that blows. And it’s a Jewish holiday tom…dunno which one though XD</p>
<p>You guys get off for Yom Kippur?
Gotta love the texas school system… ;)</p>
<p>I hope the QB offices will be open!</p>
<p>@emcc: I knoww!! Deadline’s almost here, they can’t possibly be closed!</p>
<p>@ Ju_liaa: I believe I just called the 888 number on their website, although I also tried the 650 one at the bottom of the rec forms (not sure which one; I think the former). Called in the morning.</p>
<p>@ emcc: I would expect your school’s cover sheet to be lost, but everything after the QB cover sheet should go through (logically).</p>
<p>I have the same problem too; it’s been 60 hours since my SSR was faxed, and 50 since my second Teacher Recommendation was faxed. No sign of either of them on My Locker. My first Teacher Rec status was only updated after I called/emailed; they had to do it manually.</p>
<p>I just emailed asking QuestBridge if all of their faxes take > 48 hours to process. That would be bad indeed. (My counselor still has to fax my transcript on Monday.)</p>
<p>Edit:</p>
<p>Also, at the bottom of My Locker it says that we can view all documents besides recs. I take this to consist of the school profile and the official transcript. However, there is no “View” link next to the profile cells. Anyone else have this problem?</p>
<p>@PT: I can’t see my profile either! And it’s a real problem too because my GC’s secretary sent it twice which means that i have to delete one of them. Guess i’m gonna be calling them…T_T</p>
<p>Okay, so… I have on essay to write and one bad essay to rewrite. But that has nothing to do with my question:</p>
<p>There’s a copy of my transcript with the QuestBridge application (I guess? you have to fax it in) and a copy with my Common Application… do I have to send yet another copy to each of the colleges I ranked? It costs me $20 each!</p>
<p>^Yea, I think so…our transcripts are $5 each.</p>
<p>@ applicannot: Yes, I think so, assuming you’re a finalist. $20?! That sucks; even my official college transcripts aren’t that much.</p>
<p>Gah… and then $10 each to send my SAT scores. This is costing me roughly… $100. For seven schools. I know that’s not a lot for some people, but that’s a week’s worth of work - and all my money goes toward the bills! I guess I can borrow some, or try to get some extra hours. Which could be difficult, considering this week I asked for twenty-five and got… NINE.</p>
<p>■■■.</p>
<p>Wow I’m so glad that mine are free. If i had to pay $20 for each of them I’d have to work from 8 to 10 the whole weekend just to pay for those :0</p>
<p>freaking out!!! ahhh… :(</p>
<p>applicannot, have you checked with your guidance counselor about getting some fee waivers for the transcripts? It is worth a shot.</p>
<p>@CODE: Same here T_T this suckss i just want everything to be done already!</p>
<p>More financial stuff…</p>
<p>You will end up filling out the CSS Profile, which has a fee. There is a $25 fee per student for the first school report plus a $16 fee per additional schools sent the report. Some students are automatically granted a fee waiver based upon the info in the form. This fee waiver is limited to six schools. </p>
<p>This year QuestBridge has some help available for paying for the Profile. The website says they have a “limited number” of waivers for students who don’t automatically qualify. Info on their fee waiver help is found here: [QuestBridge</a> National College Match - CSS PROFILE](<a href=“http://www.questbridge.org/ncm/css_profile.html]QuestBridge”>http://www.questbridge.org/ncm/css_profile.html)
The deadline to apply for this is October 12th, but I would not wait till then.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>He said no, definitely not, especially since the new common application system only counts for one transcript.</p>
<p>But I have some good news. My teacher recs are finished! Tomorrow I am going to call my guidance counselor continuously starting at 8 am since he still has to fax my transcript and test scores, AND he needs to finish my secondary school report/recommendation/whatever! I also have a potential topic for my final essay (essay #1).</p>
<p>I am so glad QuestBridge has a quick turn around… December 1st (well, October 23rd first) seems like ages away right now, but then I realize I’m not going to have any other decisions until the end of March, so I’m like… hmm I can handle that!</p>
<p>The official site is getting very slow.</p>
<p>do we have to fax our AP score report too??? along with the ACT and SAT reports?</p>
<p>^ No you don’t have to fax AP scores.</p>
<p>question about financial:</p>
<p>I was wondering whether or not to include the business my family runs into the application. It is an S-corporation, and my father takes wages from the company. Would it be necessary to list this corporation and its details again, after my father has already reported his income from the company.</p>
<p>Is it bad if I don’t fill out the ‘Additional Information’ essay? I mean my gut tells me its a bad idea to not write it but i just dont know what I would say that already isn’t in my application and I don’t want to appear redundant. What do you guys think?</p>
