Official 2008 Questbridge National College Match Discussion and Help

<p>wow do non finalists even get a sorry you're not a finalist letter?</p>

<p>globalFrequency, last year 8.8% of finalists were matched, but if I remember correctly about 60% were offered generous packages at at least one partner college.</p>

<p>I contributed to that extension...</p>

<p>What do you mean MINGUS AMOUNGUS? "I contributed to that extension..."</p>

<p>hey i actually emailed questbridge about faxing new test results in october and it says</p>

<p>Hi David,</p>

<p>Please update your scores using the link on your Locker page and have your counselor fax us the new score report.</p>

<p>Kind regards,
The QuestBridge Team</p>

<p>Any recent finalist emails ... in the last 20 minutes?</p>

<p>wait, we had to fax it yesterday?!?!</p>

<p>cc3c, they did not have to be faxed yesterday. they weren't used for finalist evaluations. only for colleges to see</p>

<p>im king of freaking out right now
there are 19 minutes until 5 and still no sign</p>

<p>Just got my finalist email in Louisiana.</p>

<p>actually 30 minutes after I read recieved the finalists notice the elation started waring off and anxiety began to set in.</p>

<p>I began investigating the Questbridge program some more and now not fealing all the confident or happy anymore. Besides the stress of having to complete applications by Nov. 3!</p>

<p>From their for 2007 statistics only 204 finalist actually recieved match scholarships out of either 905 or 1794, and the acceptance rate for last year was for finalist in regular admission process was 48% and 60% for finalist in either regular or match.

<p>This is of course better than general, but this stuff is still no guarentee for finalists. 40% might not be left with much, expect a Questbridge alumni network. If that.</p>

<p>Side not- do we get a chance to make edits/additions to our Questbridge app if new things have occured.</p>

<p>it was too late (about 6:30) when i received this email so im not sure whats gonna happen heh</p>

<p>whoaps, yea do we get to change questbridge app. cause i read a bit of myn the other day and there were alot spelling and mistakes lol.</p>

<p>I don't think so. I think they would have made it clear on the email they sent us about "how to update your scores". On the actual website it talks about faxing, but there's no way ...can you imagine 1000 or so kids from all over trying to fax scores into QuestBridge on one day? </p>

<p>By the way, does anyone know where the Questbridge offices are?</p>

<p>demonsword, you just got it NOW?</p>

<p>I had problems finishing the app that day with all the traffic, so I called them about it. I finished it the next day.</p>
