<p>^ What about the subject tests SAT??? I never got a hard copy of that…can I just print it off and then fax it?</p>
<p>You should have received a hard copy after your SAT subject tests as well. I think I would contact the College Board and ask if they can send a hard copy and how long it would take. If it would take too long, then I would contact QB and ask if faxing the printed off copy is enough. Prior to contacting QB though, I would check with your guidance counselor to see if your school received the subject test scores. If you entered your school code correctly they should have. Perhaps they could verify to QB that your printed-off scores are correct.</p>
<p>I believe you can also print the online page that shows your scores at collegeboard.org</p>
<p>QB will take it</p>
<p>What if I am taking SAT II’s in October. Would I select the choice in the application, enter the date taken as “October 2009” and leave the score blank? I did that, and I think it works, but I just want to make sure.</p>
<p>Yeah, I’m pretty sure that’s what you need to do.</p>
<p>I have a similar question. I took the SAT in June, but will retake in October. I’m putting the June scores on the app, but should I also add an October entry, and leave it blank?</p>
<p>^second flyingllama’s question…</p>
<p>Yea I think that is right. I got 720 and 700 in physics and biology SAT II’s in June…should I report those as well as the retakes in October? I think they are kinda low…I want to aim for 770+ on both. So should I report only the October scores? What do you guys think?</p>
<p>just wanting to clarify something because I came across confusing information today as I was reading last year’s QB thread…</p>
<p>If son becomes a finalist but chooses not to rank any schools (and just apply to QB partners through the RD round), is he allowed to apply EA to other schools?</p>
<p>I thought this was ok. I thought what wasn’t ok was to go through the ranking process and also apply EA.</p>
<p>FYI- here’s what I came across in last year’s thread:
“If you become a QuestBridge National College Match finalist, you are not allowed to submit applications to any colleges through any Early Decision/Early Action programs.”</p>
<p>Yet the QB website says this in the FAQ:
"5. If I participate in the College Match process, can I also apply to another college via Early Decision or Early Action?</p>
<p>If you choose to rank one or more colleges (regardless of whether each college is binding or non-binding) for the College Match, you may not apply to other colleges through Early Decision or Early Action"</p>
<p>This makes it seem that it all has to do with whether you rank colleges or not.</p>
<p>Jimmy28, if you go through the College Match Program, in which your child wants to be matched on Dec. 1’st, it is a violation of the match process to apply to any school ED, EA, or SCEA. If your child is not matched on Dec. 1st, they may apply to the schools that still would allow them to by Dec 2’nd.</p>
<p>right. but if he is a finalist and chooses not to rank (and therefore not get matched) he can apply EA anywhere and then also use QB to apply RD?</p>
<p>LOL, not so sure of that Jimmy28, but if you are of finalist statis, do you not want to rank any schools, binding, or non-binding? If not, I am assuming you want the QB app to go to RD for the additional essay’s, etc?</p>
<p>I think part of what is confusing is that the QB site calls the whole thing The QuestBridge National College Match program.
And then, there are two parts: The QuestBridge College Match process and The QuestBridge Regular Decision process.</p>
<p>So technically, son hopes to go through the Match Program, skip the Match Process, and go through RD Process.</p>
<p>And I’m hoping that what I saw posted on last year’s thread was either misinformation or only related to last year.</p>
<p>None of this would be a question, if it wasn’t for our big state flagship. In order to be considered for the big scholarships, you have to apply by Nov 1st, and they consider that Early Action.</p>
<p>LOL, not so sure of that Jimmy28, but if you are of finalist status, do you not want to rank any schools, binding, or non-binding? If not, I am assuming you want the QB app to go to RD for the additional essay’s, etc?</p>
<p>@ tomjonesistheman: I don’t think your scores are low. As long as it’s 700+, it’s enough to get you into the “consideration” round of accepting at the very least. But anyway, the cutoff date for sending SAT scores at all for Questbridge finalist was June. If you choose to send scores to colleges later, some colleges require that you send all scores no matter what. What colleges are you ranking?</p>
<p>If it weren’t for the NC State scholarship requirements, son would rank some of the non-binding schools. He wouldn’t do binding because Cornell is still his #1 choice and now he also really likes Wash U St Louis.</p>
<p>Thanks for all your quick responses, GAMom. I could see from reading all through this year’s QB thread as well as a lot of last year’s thread, that you are a great asset and encouragement to everyone posting.</p>
<p>@GA2012MOM - I think I read somewhere that you had a child who got the scholarship a few years back? Then you would probably know:</p>
<p>(1) Did he/she send the ACT and SAT official scores to the colleges after finding out she was a finalist or before? (I heard there was a 4 week processing for sending scores)</p>
<p>(2) Do the colleges ranked really take the time to read the QB application?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Ok up to now, I have: 2290 SAT, 34 ACT, 800 Math IIC, 750 World, 720 Bio, 700 Physics
I am Matching Princeton, Stanford, MIT, Yale.</p>
<p>I am taking October SAT II’s Physics and Bio in hopes of getting 770+ or at least 750.</p>
<p>I listed those 2 scores on the QB app as blanks.</p>
<p>My question is:
Should I list the 720 and 700 on the QB app as well, or just submit the October scores, and hope they are good? Would 800 and 750 SAT II’s be good enough to get Finalist status? You don’t need a science SAT II for Finalist status, right? Thanks!</p>
<p>crystal91, yes, my D was a match recipient to Amherst. She absolutely loves it! She is giving back to the QB community, (also getting paid) being a tele-mentor for those who won that through the QB program as juniors, now rising seniors. She just went through training, and fully realizes the immense process it is. As her mom, I was happy to be able to micro-manage her application, and it was worth it! She is at her dream school. </p>
<p>Please feel free to pm me with any questions. I’m not sure I can answer them, but I will try.</p>
<p>tomjonesistheman, your scores are MORE than adequate to be a finalist, not to say that scores are everything, but those are fine!!!</p>
<p>Just a thought to all of you going through the QB program. Most of you are hoping for what you consider the “top” schools, I don’t need to list them. Let’s all be real here, you all aren’t going to get into them. The “other” partner schools are some of the best in the country. Look at them, consider them. You would be getting a huge gift by being either a Match recipient or a RD admit to them! They are all great schools. I see most of you saying the “yale,princeton, stanford, mit” stuff. That’s great, but be real in that those are HUGE reaches and QB can match you to other schools that you will flourish at!</p>
<p>Just saying, look at the other partner schools. All QB applicants are in need of severe FA, and you should look a a broad spectrum of schools. Trust me, getting through college with full FA will help you (and your parents) sleep at night.</p>
<p>Crystal, you self-report your scores on your QB app, then you would send the official reports to the schools later.</p>
<p>And YES cyrstal91, of course they read your QB application. QB schools are looking for diversity, whether it is racial, economic, geographic, etc. They take a second look at your app! </p>
<p>For those of you who have thought that you are ORM’s, look at the QB stat’s. Your chances through QB are great! Statically speaking, you will get in through QB more so than otherwise.</p>
<p>If you see the Match profile, 18% are Asian, which is much more than the percentile for the United States population.</p>
