Official 2008 Questbridge National College Match Discussion and Help

<p>maybe if i stare at the acception letter... I might get one too!</p>

<p>So those of us that are still waiting...did you update your scores yesterday? I updated mine.</p>

<p>Florida</p>

<p>Last name : B</p>

<p>Got mine @ 6:49 P.M</p>

<p>I'm a finalist!!!</p>

<p>I'm ecstatic, but now I really want to know how many finalists actually recieve these scholarships?
Does being a finalist mean its just a matter of some red tape now, and we'll most likely get into one of our match schools?</p>

<p>30 minutes left. gah</p>

<p>I GOT IN!!! i feel like even though i havent gotten into a single school ive still accomplished something</p>

<p>im still like shaking b/c i really cant believe it. g/l to everyone else!!</p>

<p>i wish they'd just send an non-finalist OR finalist email already lol instead of driving me crazy</p>

<p>I didn't update my scores QBbound, and the site says that 60% of finalists got scholarships last year... Global is that 6:49 eastern time?</p>

<p>STASIS:
Agreed!! its killing me, and the clock is driving me nuts</p>

<p>If I remember correctly, last year a little less than half the applicants were finalists...of that about 10% were matched. But then a BUNCH more got in at RD. Congratulations to you GlobalFrequency. I like your location...everywhere!</p>

<p>did u guys fax in your new test results?</p>

<p>Oh yeah sry i added in teh RD ppl, so about 60% with RD and i guess 10% matched.</p>

<p>i dindnt.. ther was a post on here that reporting them was good enough..</p>

<p>FINALIST!</p>

<p>Sent at 5:55PM, last name starts with A, New Jersey.</p>

<p>Way to go FASTDRY! Congrats. We've all accomplished something just by completing the application!</p>

<p>Haha thanks guys =]</p>

<p>And yes, that is eastern time, I live in Ft.Lauderdale, Florida.</p>

<p>Wow, I cannot believe I'm actually a finalist. So crazy.</p>

<p>I'm barricading myself in the library tomorrow and getting all documents done haha.</p>

<p>hmm no nonfinalists want to share?</p>

<p>Just some general statistics.
Take the 2007 data for example.
3715 applicants, 1794 finalists. ~48% were chosen
204 "matched" students, ~11.2%
1076 students admitted through QB and RD, 1076, ~60%</p>

<p>Oh, keep in mind that there are probably some people who only had one or maybe two colleges partnered with QB and decided to go somewhere else. Other people might've been athletes recruited (which happens after the finalist notification).</p>

<p>Lol i'm starting to give up hope because nobody has posted a recent Finalist email... most are from at least an hour ago.</p>

<p>great job half.leaf.clover - my rounding was pretty close! but i like the actual facts too!</p>

<p>I'm just jumping for joy haha. Gratz to you ;)</p>
