Questbridge Scholarship - 2008

<p>Thanks lintu, I’m sure all this anticipation is bringing back memories for you! Do you remember if your “my locker” page had your match status on it, or was it just e-mail and phone call? My D can’t get onto QB site at school. :(</p>

<p>So has anyone else heard from QB about possible match or vice versa. If we live in the east coast when are we supposed to hear about if we got matched or not?</p>

<p>The locker did say that status, but I don’t think it was updated until evening – or maybe that’s just when I saw it.</p>

<p>My other QB friends and I are reminiscing, and we’re supper excited because we already know how many were accepted to Scripps through QB!</p>

<p>I’m thinking about applying next year, but I have a question
My income is higher (but not a ton higher) than that of the average QB applicant,
but my parents have three VERY high achieving children (i mean, i’m the least)
and 1 or 2 of them are going to be in college at the same time for TEN years.
That’s if none of us want to get a masters.
Would that help me out?</p>

<p>Ps-congrats to everyone who got in. It sounds like heaven.
PPS- to clarify, I’m the oldest, and all have high college hopes</p>

<p>oh, oh, oh, if this doesn’t make any sense, sorry, DD just got THE CALL! She got in to her #1!!!Good luck to everybody else!</p>

<p>CONGRATS!!! Wow that’s amazing. </p>

<p>Who called her btw? QB or the school?</p>

<p>QB did, at 4:56.23, lol exactly eastern time, Thanks!!! D wants to know if she bangs her head on the wall, will she wake up???</p>

<p>I screwed up my life. I got a F on the second term report card. God I feel so bad right now</p>

<p>I Just Got The Call: Matched With Yale!!!</p>

<p>OMG SKRUGGER24 THAT’S AMAZING!!! CONGRATSSSSSSS :)</p>

<p>GA2012MOM, congrats too!!!</p>

<p>I’m so nervous right now, I got call and I wasn’t home, I was at the gym. They said they’ll call back in an hour. Of course, this happens to me lol.</p>

<p>btw do they call all the matched winners? and is it alphabetical? because my last name starts with w, just wondering hehe</p>

<p>I knew skrugger an GA2012 would get matched - didnt I say so many messages ago? Congrats congrats! damn I should work in admissions! Unfortunately nothing for me but I have many applications already in so I’m sure I will have more choices come April - ahhhhhhhhhhhh to have to wait that long. And yes I’m really upset but I learned from competitive skating that all you can do is skate your best and I feel I did that this year. I mean I’ve been on a rollercoaster this whole year with GHP, TASP, Questbridge Prep and I’m not giving up!</p>

<p>Are people just getting phone calls and not emails, ***, this is killing me and my family (sorry for the language but just really nervous, I can’t even relax by playing video games cuz i can’t get QB off my mind!). So has anyone from Ohio gotten matched yet?</p>

<p>FarrCT, I’m not sure … I think there will be emails. Maybe they’re only notifying the matched finalists by phonecall. I don’t know.</p>

<p>Good luck everyone.</p>

<p>I didn’t a call yet…I’m too scared to check my email :(</p>

<p>Checked my email. I have nothing at all. it’s 3:51 pacific time. i will know in at most an hour and 9 minutes.</p>

<p>i think they are mixing it. of course only phonecalls to matches…but i think they might just leave the rest up to emails as well. i.e. if you are matched you might receive a phone call or email. if not matched you’ll only get an email.</p>
