<p>Does anyone know if the 9"x12" envelopes require one 39cent stamp or two, even though there will be only two sheets mailed?</p>
<p>Hey, with the Common Application that is due Nov 1st for Stanford, Princeton, and Yale, what do we check as far as Early Decision or Reg Decision?</p>
<p>I am pretty sure we should mark Early Decision, but the form won’t let you mark more than one because it understands that they are binding and you can’t mark two. Any answers?</p>
<p>Also, I noticed when I looked at the profiles of last year’s matches NONE of the students went to Notre Dame or got in matched with Notre Dame (i’m guessing)…ND is my dream college and I was just wondering if anyone had any comments on why you think that is.</p>
<p>You mark regular decision.
ND is a new QB partner school.</p>
<p>Anyway, does anyone know if the 9"x12" envelopes require one 39cent stamp or two, even though there will be only two sheets mailed? I’m really desperate for an answer, as I can’t find it on USPS.com.</p>
<p>oh well that definitely explains it…and i think I’m putting two stamps…I found this on yahoo answers…</p>
<p>How many stamps are needed on a one page letter in the US?</p>
<p>Answer</p>
<p>Check the US Postal Service Website for current rates. As of September 2007: For up to 1 ounce, if you mail it in a #10 envelope, it is 41 cents. If you mail it in a 9 X 12 inch envelope it is 80 cents.</p>
<p>Note that the USPS rates page suggests that 1 ounce is aprox. equivalent to Three 8.5x11 inch letter pages plus the weight of the envelope.</p>
<p>See <a href=“http://maverickprint.uta.edu/US-Postal-Information/Domestic_Rate.pdf[/url]”>http://maverickprint.uta.edu/US-Postal-Information/Domestic_Rate.pdf</a>
My local post office gives out the same handout. The clerk cautioned me not to go by number of pages as the weight of paper can vary widely. She pointed out that postage rates for 9 x 12 envelopes are now higher than those of regular envelopes weighing the exact same amount.</p>
<p>So did she give you a number of stamps needed to be put on? Because I am in knguyen142’s same situation.</p>

Same in Oregon…I’m just stressssssssssed out!!!</p>
<p>You mark Regular Decision for everything</p>
<p>2 stamps for all postage.</p>
<p>Very niccee…waa waa wee wahh</p>
<p>Lol, I’m 99% sure I’m skipping Tuesday, Wednesday,and Thursday. And i goto a hardass school. And i’ve never skipped in my life. And I’m taking 5 APs and a honors class. I have a B in 3 subjects and an A in 3. quarter Grades go out in less than 2 weeks. I’m not doing any school homework. I HATE QUEST BRIDGE. I’m SOO Screwed. I hate the CSS Profile…OMG I HATE THIS MY LIFE IS REALLY SUCKING RIGHT NOW.</p>
<p>I hate the essays!!!</p>
<p>What’s so stressful? The common app itself is pretty straightfoward save for the essays, but those shouldn’t be TOO time consuming. The CSS profile does take a long time, but I did it pretty fast because our family has blanks on most of our tax return. </p>
<p>Overall I don’t think it’s that arduous. I might have to call in a personal day or two as well, but that’s only because I have SAT’s this Sat. Shame, next week I have a lot of tests too…</p>
<p>Lots of paperwork to get in, but we can do it guys!</p>
<p>Is everyone sending official SAT score reports directly to Questbridge using the Transcripts and Test scores Fax Cover Sheet? I’m trying to do so, but I have not received an official score report through the mail. No one has.</p>
<p>Can I use my 800 word biographical essay for the Common App?</p>
<p>I mean the ranked schools know that I might be reusing my essays and I’m not sure if they’d have any problems with an essay that’s that much over 500 words.</p>
<p>OMG The friggin Common App is HORRIBELE!!! I spent 30 minutes writing responses to the Stanford Supplement and it then logs me off!!!</p>
<p>lol, yea i know. I’m going to use my 800 word essay on the common app. But what i meant was all the other essays.<br>
3 essays for Stanford each around 1800 characters
1 Yale Essay
2 Princeton Essays.
Columbia’s separate Application.</p>
<p>see what i mean? And i also have normal school homework with two 6 page essays due that I have to turn in Monday so i can skip most of the week. I’m here up at 4:50 am trying to finish…</p>
<p>can we use our challenge essay for the questbridge app for yale?</p>
<p>Go ahead; Yale’s essay is whatever you want.</p>
<p>yea… holla!!!</p>
<p>anyone else going to do the same Why Yale and Why Stanford essay, but just change a little bit about certain programs and stuff?</p>
<p>For everyone who ranked Princeton, did you guys recieve some sort of email from the Princeton admissions office? I received an email from Yale, but not from Princeton. I ranked Princeton and Yale, but made a change in their rank order after QB apps were submitted and I don’t know if that caused a problem. So, I’m checking to make sure I didn’t get taken off of a list or anything.</p>
