<p>Too bad I'm going to opt out of it because I live in America, but my greencard status is still being processed, so I'm not eligible to any school -.-
I guess it might look good on my college applications at least.
Doing Penn ED instead ^^</p>

<p>FYI, I'm from Boston, Massachusetts. The letter came in exactly at 5:59 PM.
My last name starts with C.</p>
<p>There is still hope!!! :)</p>
<p>I wouldn't be surprised if they overshoot the 5 PM PCT mark .... remember the Sept. 30th extension?</p>

<p>Information on college-specific requirements</p>
<p>Most of our partner colleges require that you send them at least the following materials in order to consider your application for the College Match:</p>
<p>Official transcripts
Standardized test score reports
CSS PROFILE (click here for more information)
Tax returns
A full list of requirements and submission instructions for each college can be found at the following link: College</a> Match Program: Requirements</p>
<p>While it is best to submit the additional materials to the colleges as soon as possible, it is unnecessary to send them using priority or overnight mail. It is sufficient if the postmark is dated on or before the deadline.</p>
<p>Please note that Columbia, Princeton, Stanford, the University of Chicago, the University of Pennsylvania and Yale each require students to submit school-specific applications. You are welcome to re-use your QuestBridge essays for those colleges' applications, provided that they fit the prompts. If school-specific recommendations are required, you may ask the same teachers and counselors who filled out your QuestBridge recommendations to complete them. </p>
<p>Information on the Match Agreement form</p>
<p>Finalists who are participating in the College Match process will need to complete the Match Agreement form with the required signatures and fax it to QuestBridge by November 3, 2008 at 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time. </p>
