<p>I know, i wonder if i should start some regular apps…</p>
<p>harvardprincess - I didn’t end up contacting either Yale or Questbridge. I’m hoping that once the early action applicants are processed, QB applicants will be also - so if my status isn’t right by the 15th, I’ll probably contact Yale.</p>
<p>I think I just screwed up very badly. I applied to my state school for their regular decision process, do you think that matters at all, because I know Questbridge said that they do not allow you to apply to any other schools during the match process?</p>
<p>They don’t allow you to apply to any other EA/ED schools. I’m pretty sure RD is fine.</p>
<p>Yea, it doesn’t matter.</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>For those who applied to Stanford, did anyone receive any sort of confirmation from them, or something to check application status?</p>
<p>jaw117, no, i haven’t yet.</p>
<p>Did you? I once called the admission office regarding the time zone issue, and the lady sounded very annoyed. So I never called again.</p>
<p>I haven’t either. I know EA applicants got something in an email, though.</p>
<p>Yea, i was looking at the Stanford peeps getting notification for early action, we onlt have 15 days before decision and we still don’t have notification…</p>
<p>Same here I haven’t received a thing.
But I received an email from Questbridge saying Emory didn’t receive my financial aid information but i send it on Oct 31 and attached a piece of paper for Emory to sign if they did recieve it and I got that paper back in the mail like last week sometime. What should I do, should I call Emory , OMG this is really freaking me out. When I thought i was done, they pull a fast one on me. What do you guys think?</p>
<p>I never got anything from Stanford except for the email stating that they had downloaded my application.</p>
<p>Also worried about Stanford because my teachers sent the recommendations in letter sized envelopes, not the big ones that they asked for.</p>

<p>Matching Top Colleges,
Low-Income Students
By JIM CARLTON
November 15, 2007; Page B1</p>
<p>Last year, when Amherst College welcomed 473 new students to its idyllic campus, 10% of them came from QuestBridge.</p>
<p>But QuestBridge is no elite private school. It’s a nonprofit start-up in Palo Alto, Calif., that matches gifted, low-income students with 20 of the nation’s top colleges. In return, the schools – including Princeton, Yale, Stanford and Columbia – give scholarships to the students and pay QuestBridge for helping to diversify their student bodies…</p>
<p>Each college or university that uses the program pays QuestBridge $40,000 to $70,000 annually in recruiting fees. But QuestBridge says that only half of its $1.6 million annual budget comes from those fees. The other half comes from philanthropic groups, including the Goldman Sachs Foundation, the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation and the Edward Fein Foundation.</p>
<p>Awesomeness…hopefully that Stanford number climbs this year…</p>
<p>I saw people asking about the status of teachers’ recs for Yale pages before. Is there any update on it? cuz my status is ‘not received’ too. and I contacted QuestBridge. They said they already forwarded everything in. I’m a little concerned.</p>
<p>anyone has the same problem?</p>
<p>I wonder when the article said “acceptances” through Questbridge whether that means matches or acceptances in general…</p>
<p>One of my teachers who had a student get in Columbia last year through Questbridge said that they interviewed him and the student after they got matched which seems really weird.</p>
<p>that would be ■■■■■■■■…I would just not interview/…</p>
<p>lol ya I wouldn’t either</p>
<p>I emailed princeton, columbia, and stanford…no response :(</p>
<p>did anyone do notre dame here? any news?</p>
<p>Thanks for the link grtskt89, very encouraging. google2008, did you participate in last nights chat w/Amherst, DD said she talked to several interns she had met.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>It’s finalists, I’m pretty sure. There were only about 100 matches, and there are more than that in the article.</p>
