Hey guys, I’m a finalist for QB but did not get matched, and am currently finishing up my RD applications.
I ranked 12 schools, and got rejected from Norte Dame, but decided to add two more schools, although for some reason another QB school received my application so I guess I am applying to 14 RD.
I’m not really suprised I didn’t get matched, (1120 on SAT) I was even suprised when I was a finalist tbh. I guess I’m just disappointed on all the work I put into it, especially since I did all the financial stuff on my own, my parents don’t know how to those types of things.
I chose Pomona for ED 2, (did not rank during match but I kept getting emails after and I actually really like the school) although I know my changes are low.
I did take the ACT and got a 26, which is still low for all the QB schools, but better than my 1120 on SAT.
I’m just loosing hope because I feel like I’m doing all this work and putting so much effort just to get rejected in the RD process. Even my parents aND my sister (she matched to Wesleyan two years ago) are making me lose hope. My parents are saying I didn’t get matched because of my attitude. I admit I do give some attitude when never they ask about college because they have such high expectations because my sister got matched. My parents want me to ask my sister for help on everything, and I know they mean well but my sister is honestly so rude, so I asked my teachers to read my essays. Everyone in my family is kind of treating me like failure.
Plus I got deferred from my state school, UGA. UGA EA only looks at GPA, Class Rigor and SAT/ACT. Again I know the reason I didn’t get admitted right away was because my SAT score.
But anyways, I think the only reason I got QB finalist is because of my EC’s, and recommendation.
For Pomona I wrote about wanting to major in International Relations and I also wrote about my summer experience with Syrian refugees and how I’m passionate on the crisis.
I just hope maybe one of these schools will see something in me.
And if you’re wondering UW GPA is 3.85
And my rank is 45/684.
I’m female.
But yeah I guess I’m just trying to find some confirmation for hope or at least a support system, because I know my changes of getting accepted are slim.
