<p>Dammit. My teachers mailed them in before I found out my status because I didn’t think I would make it, but do you think if I call Stanford, it will be okay?</p>
<p>Usually, I don’t do these stats, but I’m really desperate. I’m thinking where I can improve beside the SATs and ACts??</p>

3 really good one. I pour my heart and soul into it.</p>
<p>“You go ask your counselor for an official transcript to send to colleges and they’ll just give you your transcript an a sealed envelope or something.”</p>
<p>Right, but is that supposed to be included with the secondary report for the common app, or do they want a separate one?</p>
<p>I am also a Questbridge finalist, but I want to drop out from the college match process. I heard that if you proceed with the college match process you can’t send in any early action applications. I want to do Stanford, Columbia, and University of Chicago, but I think I have a better chance with regular decision and I don’t like the binding part of the program. Do I just not send it the required materials by Nov.1 to not be admitted for the college match process?</p>
<p>Hey I’m a finalist and I was wondering if the secondary school report can be written by the principal of your school.</p>
<p>Also, we have to send in tax returns and W-2 forms…anything else concerning financial documents?</p>
<p>Any help is greatly appreciated.</p>
<p>And to aubrey, unfortunately your standardized test scores are probably the main problem, although some people are just shaky test takers. Maybe a few awards would not have hurt either, but from the rest of your stats I’m sure you’ll get into a great school.</p>
<p>aubrey- downfall was def. test scores…</p>
<p>I’m so glad I got finalist. A couple of my friends who applied didn’t (having pretty much wasted the past couple months of their lives) and now it’s going to be really awkward…</p>
<p>irishdevil, yes your principal can write the SSR</p>
<p>harvardprincess, is it bad if I put separate on the questbridge app? 
I guess for some of the colleges they would never know becuase I have to do their application separately, but I am having Questbridge forward some of my applications to their partner schools.</p>
<p>Does anyone know if Swarthmore requires the FAFSA for the Match process?</p>
<p>i have a question. the questbridge colleges want finalists to send in income information from both parents, right? well, i only live with one parent and even though i know where my noncustodial parent lives, i have no contact with that parent. its fairly understood by my family that the noncustodial parent will not be apart of my college finances at all. do i still have to go to the noncustodial parent to fill out income stuff.</p>
<p>I have a question: what if I already submited my ED application for a non-QB school? ask them to put me in RD?</p>
<p>Should applications even be forwarded to Stanford, Princeton, and Yale? Don’t they not look at them?</p>
<p>Huh, I thought they do look at them? I thought they look at everything. What then is the advantage of having a “greater” view of the applicant with the questbridge application?</p>
<p>I got the impression that they meant that about schools NOT including Stanford, Princeton, and Yale.</p>
<p>Other schools take the Questbridge App as a replacement for their own, and QB is a lot more comprehensive than most, resulting in that greater view.</p>
<p>But PYS don’t take it as a replacement for their app, so I don’t know if it would apply or if they’d even look at it.</p>
<p>do we send AP score?</p>
<p>What if my parents don’t fill the the federal income tax, what should I send? I live in Puerto Rico, and my parents fill the taxes forms of Puerto Rico, should I send that?</p>
<p>What if I don’t want to go to a college that’s binding? Am I going to have to pay money?</p>
<p>do we send AP score?</p>
<p>no you don’t send it unless you’re accepted. you just write it. they trust you.</p>
<p>Hey do we need to just to post-mark everything to the individual colleges by the deadline or do the colleges need to receive it by the deadline.</p>
<p>Farr CT, look in “My Locker” and underneath you finalist status there are additional instructions.</p>
<p>“While it is best to submit the additional materials to the colleges as soon as possible, it is unneccesary to send them using priority or overnight mail. It is sufficient if the postmark is dated on or before the deadline”</p>
