<p>Thanks Anika!</p>
<p>Also is there a set deadline for when we need to send test scores?</p>
<p>has anyone done the FAFSA already? that and all the other financial documents aren’t necessarily due by jan 1st though right? since thats not required for just admission? thank you!</p>
<p>No one can do the FAFSA cause it’s not released till the 1st.</p>
<p>but what about other things like sending tax returns and W2s?</p>
<p>also, if i mail certain documents and they receive them a couple days after the deadline, will that be okay? since they dont review all that stuff for a while anyway</p>
<p>okay so correct me if im wrong please but…</p>
<p>so technically since financial information isnt part of the application for admissions itself, none of it is due until like march right? including a noncustodial parent waiver form and other financial stuff like FAFSA?</p>
<p>I’m a QuestBridge finalist applying to brown through regular decision and they said they haven’t received my qb app. Has anyone qb schools received their qb app?</p>
<p>the majority of my schools received my qb app. maybe you forgot to forward it to brown?</p>
<p>So I have a worry on my mind with my Questbridge App, and was wondering if anyone could offer some insight. I am a QB finalist applying RD to Notre Dame, Northwestern, Brown, and Stanford, in addition to OSU, UMich, and Case Western Reserve outside of QB. However, I am worried that my SAT II scores that I decided to give to QB may really hurt my chances at the QB schools, even if they don’t require the SAT IIs.</p>
<p>I decided to go ahead and give my SAT IIs to QB even though they were abysmally terrible, just so QB knew my full profile. Unfortunately, now these scores are being sent to my schools:</p>
<p>Math II - 560
Chemistry - 580
U.S. History - 700</p>
<p>Lack of foresight on my part…But, does anyone know how terribly these scores will impact my chances at schools that don’t require them? Considering my ACT and SAT scores are 31 and 2100, and I have a solid GPA and ECs, could these scores break my application? I appreciate the opinions fellow Questers!</p>
<p>^Well, the scores are only self-reported on your QB application, right?</p>
<p>You can still use score choice when sending official score reports. For the schools that require the common app, it’s likely they won’t even see the self reported scores on QB. They’ll just use the self reported scores on the common app and the official score reports. </p>
<p>I wouldn’t worry about it. There’s nothing you can do now. You did well on the ACT and SAT, so schools shouldn’t consider your weaker SAT 2’s much.</p>
<p>JSea11, go to the QuestBridge site and log in to the “My Locker” section. Click on the plus sign by “Regular Decision Requirements.” It will open up and show the requirements for each school to which you had your app forwarded. You will be able to see if you forwarded it to Brown. If you did, you could email them and let them know.</p>
<p>However, at this late stage of the game, whether you forwarded it or not, it may be in your best interest to go ahead and also submit the Common App and Brown supplement to Brown via the Common App website. I’d enter a fee waiver of “other” if you do that and put in the “additional information” section “QuestBridge College Match Finalist.” I would also email Brown to say that since there are problems finding your QB app you’ve submitted the CA. </p>
<p>avakiantz, you <em>don’t</em> wait till March to submit the financial aid stuff. Check each college’s website for their deadline to receive stuff by and then submit CSS Profile and FAFSA about two weeks earlier to allow processing time. You may have to use estimates if you don’t have all the info. If that happens you have to update the final figures later when they’re available. It is a pain. What happens is while the admissions staff is reading all the files, the financial aid staff is frantically preparing FA packages for all the applicants! It is a tremendous undertaking. But that way, when you get an admissions offer you also get a financial aid offer at the same time.</p>
<p>“If submitting the QuestBridge application, fee waiver is automatic. If using the Common App, indicate clearly that you are a QuestBridge applicant.”</p>
<p>Where am I supposed to indicate this if I’m doing the common application online?</p>
<p>I already Requested that QuestBridge forward my application. Does this mean I don’t
have to send the common application at all?
My guidance counselor and teachers have already sent their necessary things.
Does that mean I don’t have to do anything?</p>
<p>I’m still a little nervous about only sending in my CommonApp supplement electronically. This is fine right? I’m afraid that the colleges won’t look at it because I haven’t submitted the whole CommonApp.</p>
<p>I am soo confused with Rice QB applications…</p>
<p>Okay, I’m just checking: We don’t have to use our QuestBridge app in place of our CommonApp, right? Because I finished my CommonApp for other schools so I figured I would just submit it to the schools anyway so that the QuestBridge app would be used as a supplement.</p>
<p>Also, to mark fee waivers, should we just choose “Other Fee Waiver” and indicate we are a Finalist (I put it in Honors)? Or should we e-mail the admissions office and whatnot?</p>
<p>Will they make the connection between my CommonApp and my QuestBridge app?</p>
<p>Does anyone know around when we will be notified of our applications’ statuses? </p>
<p>I am concerned because Wesleyan is the only school, out of the many I have completed, that has sent an e-mail receipt saying my application is complete. None of the schools I listed during the match process–who have applications completed from October–and none of the other schools I have applied for have contacted me regarding my application status</p>
<p>@ironturtle I know what you mean! I keep looking at the yellow arrow that indicates an unfinished application on the CommonApp for a few of these schools and think that I should submit the regular app just in case, lol. I’m thinking that if they needed it though to be seen, they would have said so. They explicitly said they only wanted the supplement, so I guess that is what we should do.</p>
<p>By the way, does anyone know whether or not our test scores for the SAT and ACT are considered official if they come with the Questbridge app? Theorhetically, since QB already verified our scores, they should be considered acceptable right, or is that only through the College Match process? I went ahead and submitted scores from the score report services a few nights ago just to be sure, but it cost a lot of money and I’m afraid that the scores will be late.</p>
<p>For those of you apply RD to USC, do you know how we’re supposed to find out if they received/processed the application? I checked my USC Connect and it doesn’t show up that it has a Part II App or anything…</p>
<p>@TheTromboneMan: I don’t think it’s considered unofficial; there are schools that can take the recs directly from QB, but I’m pretty sure we have to send official score reports directly from the testing agencies to each school.</p>
<p>@tochau, RD to USC is updated online. I checked my USC connect, and it said that they have received my Part II. You may want to call their admissions office tomorrow and confirm it.</p>
<p>@anika011: Hm, I just checked again and it still doesn’t show up :\ Did you check under the received documents? Ah, I just hope they consider it for scholarships, esp since the website said that they would consider QB apps as on time for them!</p>
<p>Oh, they just updated it today! Does it come up as “Undergraduate Application?”</p>
