I’m 99% sure the STEM QFE has been announced. I’m going off the fact that many of the choices for the summer programs have scheduled dates that have already begun.

Marine Ecology and Sustainable Systems, June 25 - July 25, 2017
Marine Ecology Research Expedition, June 28 - July 29, 2017
New Mexico Tech, Socorro, NM. June 18 - July 26, 2017
University of Colorado, Boulder, CO. June ​25 - ​August 2, 2017
In Biochemistry at Purdue University, ​West Lafayette, IN. June 18 - July 26, 2017

Those who received the STEM awards would have to have been notified prior to these deadlines and have at least some time to choose and pack for them.

742

@JoeBelushi777 Not everyone who applied for the STEM award opted for the summer programs.

743

@JoeBelushi777 @Hamlon They have not been announced. People in the FB Group chat emailed and QB said that they will be out by the end of the month.

744

@kassh4 which facebook group? I previously joined the facebook groups I was able to find for Questbridge, but this wasn’t discussed in those. I’d like to join the group you are referring to, if possible, so I can stay up to date :slight_smile:

745

@crttrlvr I remember getting an email from QB about a facebook group. Check that. Either way the STEM QFE’s are supposed to be announced today.

746

STEM and Art QFEs are out

747

@kassh4 How do you know?

748

@tar62800 I didn’t get one but from the facebook group. If you didn’t get an email you got rejected.

749

Hey guys- for those nominated for one free college visit, the email said that we would be notified either in the summer or fall. Has anyone been notified yet?

Also, is it Questbridge that matches you with a school, or does the school pick you to come?

750

@worriedgal From what I’ve heard, the free college visits was referring to the fly-in programs.

751

Oh okay- so the emails I’ve been getting about applying to the fly-in programs is that? @kassh4

752

@worriedgal yea pretty sure. I asked some upper classmen that were CPS and that’s what they said.

753

Hey huys.I just joined cc and the National College Match app just opened :slight_smile:

754

Same for me

755

the “New Americans” award that is.

756

To future College Prep applicants viewing this: Don’t be like me and forget to submit your transcript! I was 100% positive I would be accepted, but then I found out my transcript was never sent it. Do NOT be me!!!

757

@mlplover69 Are you sure your transcript never sent? For a lot of people it sent and then when they logged back into their accounts it said transcript was missing, including me. I don’t even remember submitting an official transcript, just self-reporting it.

758

Yeah :frowning: It sucks!

759

hey any of you can give me advice
