<p>@honeybee63 really? That’s a lot of applicants. That makes me feel a little better. It’s just, I wish I knew why. Maybe my ACT scores weren’t high enough. Oh well, now I can apply wherever I want and don’t have to wait on QB anymore!</p>
<p>Yeah, this was just one of the many paths I could have taken! I guess it just isn’t this one! Onto the next one!</p>
<p>Yes! and you can still apply to as many of the QB partner schools as you like. If you’re interested, you can check the charts on the App Req pages and see which colleges allow non-finalists to forward their QB app. Several of the LACs allow this and give you the QB fee waiver as well. Every year many many non-finalists are accepted to QB colleges as well as all the other outstanding colleges!</p>
<p>@honeybee63 Yeah, my main issue is the application fee. I got an email from Colorado that told me they’d waive the fee despite the fact I’m not a finalist. I am really hoping they aren’t the only ones who are going to contact me about it- Colorado is across the country for me! With all the colleges I’m interested in attending, $70 dollars per application is not doable. So I have to narrow my list…</p>
<p>@TurtlesRWe, QB (and similar) colleges will waive the fee if you contact them and explain that the fee would prevent you from applying to their school. Just email all the colleges you’re interested in. The common app has a blanket fee waiver this year that covers all common app schools if you have used a fee waiver for the SAT. That should help you too. Just click the box and all CA schools are free to apply. </p>
<p>@honeybee63 darn it- I’ve never qualified for an SAT fee waiver. But I forgot that I could just email the colleges and explain to them. It wouldn’t hurt to ask. Also, now I can apply to as many Early Actions as I want!</p>
