<p>i think the FAFSA and CSS should be done by nov 2 right?</p>
<p>hopefully…i still need to write essays and everything. oh god. </p>
<p>and we can fax our ACT and SAT Subject test scores???</p>
<p>Well i thought that the FAFSA and CSS had to be in by sept 30th because if you don’t hand those in then how can they even see if you’re telling the truth about your income?</p>
<p>Is there some other income/ tax form you have to hand in, or are FAFSA and CSS seriously due on Nov 2?</p>
<p>FAFSA and CSS are definitely not due Sept. 30. First of all, CSS forms, I heard, are not even open online until October 1st. Also, I looked on the individual colleges and they say to send in the financial aid stuff by November 1st. Princeton will send their own version of financial aid in the mail due by November 13.</p>
<p>Excuse me, I meant November 2nd. My apologies.</p>
<p>Furthermore, you wouldn’t lie about your income because that…will be a very bad move when colleges see both application and FAFSA and they don’t correspond…</p>
<p>Haha i guess you’re right. I just figured they wouldn’t want to waste their time with people trying to bs them or anything like that.</p>
<p>Alright so I looked over the Finalist requirements and Regular Decision requirements on the QB site. Since I will have already submitted the Common App, additional materials, and financial aid stuff by November 2, this will be automatically forwarded if I apply to the colleges Regular Decision (assuming I am a Finalist but not Matched), and I don’t have to resubmit these materials by January 1st right?</p>
<p>Only the Mid-year report is due right? Thanks!</p>
<p>I know that several schools work that way. Columbia, Penn, Yale, Stanford, Princeton, are some of them.</p>
<p>However I don’t know about the others. Which QB schools are you applying to?</p>
<p>You might have to request forwarding for some colleges when they don’t pull you into RD immediately. Other colleges don’t require the Common App for finalist. It’s only until you want to go through RD as a QB finalist that they make you fill one out.</p>
<p>Ok cool, yea I know MIT doesn’t do that; they use only the Questbridge application. </p>
<p>So for Stanford, one of the Finalist requirements is “- Submit Common App with supplement, official transcript, secondary school report, recommendations”</p>
<p>Does this mean my teachers have to fill out the teacher rec forms on the Common App and mail it in by November 2? So they have to write 2 recs for some schools? (One through QB due September 30, the other to the college itself by November 2)</p>
<p>Yep they’ll have to fill in Common App forms and Questbridge forms. I’m having my teachers get them both done by Sep 30th.</p>
<p>the recommendations themselves can be the exact same recommendations, though, right?</p>
<p>Also, I know this was discussed but is it okay to recycle essays for the QB app and the common app? Or would adcoms want to see 2 different essays?</p>
<p>
Yea</p>
<p>
I think colleges encourage you to recycle, unless you have something very different to show.</p>
<p>But we have to write different essays for the college-specific supplements, right?</p>
<p>muffinish: In most cases yes. The supplement should talk about a different aspect of your life, no matter what question they ask.</p>
<p>Supplements for individual schools are school specific, therefore even if a QB essay corresponds with a question you should still write a new one. The school wants to see how you respond to their specific question.</p>
<p>However if the school in question is not a QB partner, they are never going to see your QB essays and so if the essays correspond then you can just copy+paste. I’m doing this for two of my non QB schools.</p>

<p>this message appears in red only when I am typing in my Dad’s income, but not when I am typing in my Mom’s income - is it just appearing by default or is QB assuming that my Dad is a non-custodial parent just because he doesn’t live with me? </p>
<p>And also - how do we obtain hard copies of official SAT score reports to fax?</p>
<p>After you took your SAT, the CollegeBoard mailed you a hard copy of your scores called the Student Score Report. Your guidance counselor faxes in the page of the report which has your name and address and your scores.</p>
