<p>YES! That’s a relief =p thanks.</p>
<p>One more question: for those of you taking ACT in September, do you have to automatically send score reports when you register, to the colleges you are Matching with?
how bout for October SAT II’s ?</p>
<p>90-92 A-
93-97 A
98 and above A+</p>
<p>A unit depends on your school’s programme (tri- or semester). The self-reported transcript is really not much more than a formality, as the schools generally base their knowledge upon the school transcript. If there are major discrepancies, they’ll either contact someone or, in the case of student-reported inflation, chalk it up to dishonesty. (Another piece of information gathered from Michele Hernandez and other books)</p>
<p>Would it be better to apply to Questbridge and then not choose any schools, and apply to Stanford SCEA? Would that be about the same amount of work, because I only plan on choosing Stanford, if I become a finalist?</p>
<p>well if you do SCEA they don’t read your QB essays which might help you</p>
<p>@Narusakuu: I agree with flyingllama, the added essays are a great way to allow the adcoms to learn more about you. The more the adcom can see YOU shine through the app, the more chance you have.</p>
<p>“If you plan to take the September ACT and/or the October SAT, please list your testing date(s) on the Testing Information page in the application (leaving the score fields blank). If you are selected as a finalist and want to have your new test scores considered for the College Match process by the colleges you have ranked, you should request that the College Board and/or ACT forward your scores to those colleges. Any testing done after the September and October dates will be considered only in the Regular Decision process.”</p>
<p>If I took the September ACT, would I have enough time to wait for my results and then send the scores? for the match round</p>
<p>I believe this information means to lead you towards sending the scores in immediately. I’m assuming your reason for asking this is that IF you get an unsatisfactory score, will you be able to not send it in. Since I’m not even near the end-all to this question, I would contact Questbridge. I asked them a question last week and they replied the next day.</p>
<p>I’m not automatically sending my sept. ACT score. I’m waiting to see if it’s available before sept. 30th, then I’m having my GC fax it to QB…if I’m happy with it! The ACT people say that scores can be available as soon as 2 1/2 weeks, so I’m gonna take my chances.</p>
<p>Yeah, ACT and SAT scores are almost always available in about 1/2 a month from When you take it. They should be fine taking your scores in.</p>
<p>Ok, so if I become a finalist, but not a match, can Questbridge publish that I was a questbridge finalist? What if I end up being matched? Do I have to let them release my name on the website? I know it’s stupid, but I know someone who went through a lot of crap because everyone knew that he was a Questbridge match, and to me, things like that, aren’t the business of anyone not involved.</p>
<p>Oh man I didn’t even think about that. I wondered how people would react to the whole questbridge thing. I would think that QB would respect someone’s privacy and desire not to have their name published, but who knows what their policies are. That’s something I definitely think would be worth emailing them about. Students should not have to be exposed to any stigma associated with the process and I definitely agree with you about it not being anyone’s business. I haven’t told anyone that I’m applying through QB and when you think about it, the only way they would find out is if they check the website and look at the list of people matched. I don’t know of anyone who does that, except for those who are interested in applying. My guidance counselor didn’t even know about about QB!</p>
<p>yeah, i searched for questbridge on this website (college confidential) and some ****bag posted the link that listed all of the college match winners and was like, Wow, there are a lot of CMC students, check it out.</p>
<p>Yes, your name will be on the QB site. Jeez, I don’t know, but for a scholarship of $200,000, do you really care about what others say about you? Seriously? Then don’t apply.</p>
<p>Sorry to seem harsh, but QB is a highly respected program that IF you would get matched, you should be proud to be on the website. Are you applying to any other scholarships? They will also publish your name. CocaCola, BillGates, etc.</p>
<p>As I said, IF, IF, IF you were to be matched, you should be proud. Most match scholars have newspaper articles in their hometown. </p>
<p>Natim1, on the QB site, you can see ALL of the past Match recipients. I can assure you they are all very proud, and don’t mind their image/profile being shown.</p>
<p>[QuestBridge:</a> Students: Student Profiles](<a href=“http://questbridge.org/students/class2013_match_profiles.html]QuestBridge:”>http://questbridge.org/students/class2013_match_profiles.html)</p>
<p>There, let me show you all 260 of them. If you are so offended by your lack of privacy, please don’t apply. Grow up and be grateful for opportunities.</p>
<p>If your are talking about Claremont McKenna CMC students, don’t worry, they are no longer participating in the match program due to financial issues.</p>
<p>If Questbridge were just another scholarship, I would be completely fine with my name being published. BUT, Questbridge is for those who are “economically disadvantaged” and because of the program’s criteria, essentially open only to those who also qualify for financial aid. Call me whatever names you want, but I don’t think that my family’s financial information should be public information.</p>
<p>It is federal law to sign some release for information, but I guess in the case of QB, that’s part of the agreement. Interesting. Well, if you don’t want your info, I’m sure you can request that they put only your initial and last name and no picture, as there ARE some people on there like that. They don’t publish you unless you match, so there isn’t a list of 2000 people’s names or anything.</p>
<p>I’ve always been somewhat embarassed of my family’s financial situation- until recently. I can understand, but most of the people browsing the site are in the same boat as you! I know very few people who have even HEARD of Questbridge, and I live in the Los Angeles area. If I were picked, I would look at it as sort of a contribution to the kids for next year: how many times have you panicked over getting into some program, and wanted to know the face of the kids who got in, their human component? The face of college admissions often seems cold to students- the daunting, we only admit perfect students aspect scares people away. So I think QB is doing a favor to prospective students in this way.</p>
<p>Your family income information is not published. </p>
<p>Do you seriously think ANYBODY that knows you would know you even applied for QB unless you told them? And as I previously stated, do you really care, considering you would be basically attending a top school for almost free?</p>
<p>I have to give it to you, I haven’t heard that “excuse” for not applying before. Others are</p>
<p>My test scores aren’t good enough.
Nobody ACTUALLY wins these things.
My family income is low, but maybe not low enough
My GPA sucks
I don’t have enough ec’s</p>
<p>etc, etc, etc.</p>
<p>**** or get off the pot. Sorry to be rude, but just do it.</p>
<p>Good, no great advice. Nothing is handed to you for absolutely free; you have to take some risks. People won’t be able to find you or steal your identity with the information posted.</p>
<p>Most QB kids are $60,000 or less. Alexandrafitzmor, if your family made $60,000, they are way above the national average. Are you embarrassed by this? If you are ashamed to have this published that you think you are “poor”, do you not think your friends know you are of limited means? Do you care so much what others think of your economic status that you would forego QB? </p>
<p>What is more important to you, preserving a false image in your hometown (assuming they don’t know you make less than $60,000) or attending a FANTASTIC school for almost nothing?</p>
