Official Questbridge National College Match 2010-2011

<p>The last sprint!!!
It is officially almost over!!!
I have just finished completely revising my bio and one of the other essays. Just have one more to reviseeeeee
Almost home freeeee</p>

<p>Am I the only one putting the final touches on my essays?</p>

<p>haha no. I just got the idea for my last essay. And I just finished my biographical one earlier. But I’m on this beautiful thing called fall break. So it’s not like I have to sleep.</p>

<p>Well good luck rose. You should be able to finish if you don’t procrastinate. And to make sure the application is due at midnight TOMORROW?</p>

<p>haha. yeah. or three am, since i’m on the east coast. i got it.</p>

<p>Is score choice allowed when we list SAT scores on the application?</p>

<p>So for the income section, do I put in the income before or after tax cuts?</p>

<p>gadgor: i would assume after. They want to know how much money you had going into your house. You’ll have to confirm it all officially with the CSS anyway.
Luminouzz: no. I posted every score I had ever gotten (i took it three times). maybe just take your best overall score, and use just that one if you’re really that concerned about it.</p>

<p>This is REALLY important. QB says “Non-Custodial Parent Income is required: The income of your noncustodial parent will not be included in your primary household income, however colleges require that you report your noncustodial parent’s income before they will offer you a scholarship. If you have no contact with your noncustodial parent, you need to submit a Noncustodial Parent Waiver Request form. Instructions for submitting this form are included in the College-Specific Requirements.” </p>

<p>Does this mean I can leave out the income if I plan to submit a waiver? Or do I just guess something so that I can have a placeholder there and not get rejected immediately or something?</p>

<p>So I felt that I had pretty strong essays and was ready to copy and paste them in. The shorter 500 word essays were under the word limit, and went into the text box without a hitch. But my Biographical Essay is exactly 800 words, and refuses to format correctly with the 800th word in the text box. I’ve heard this doesn’t happen if you’re at least one word under the limit, but I don’t think I could edit any more of it without feeling like I’m submitting less than my best.</p>

<p>Has anyone else had a problem with this? Is there a way to fix it besides typing in the last word manually/typing it as part of the second to last word and then slipping in a space? Nothing seems to work.</p>

<p>danimarie cut and paste your last word into the text box on questbridge. Doing this worked for me.</p>

<p>Thanks, peacelovesoul. But once I paste it, the format gets completely messed up and the ending gets cut off once I try to fix it. I swear I got this to work once before, but I can’t remember how I did it.</p>

<p>try this
take your entire essay, copy paste it into word, add on your final word and additional punction, then cut or copy and paste into the text box.</p>

<p>The format errors still occur, and more of the ending gets cut off than before.</p>

<p>If anything, I could just find something to edit out of the essay. It’s just a little disappointing that QuestBridge hasn’t fixed this sort of glitch by now.</p>

<p>So, does anyone know if putting in an estimate of my father’s income is alright?</p>

<p>How do we indent our paragraphs? I can indent in the essay box, but it doesn’t show up in the HTML version.</p>

<p>^ you can indent by putting 3 spaces before a paragraph.</p>

<p>^The spaces don’t show up in the HTML proofread version.</p>

<p>So, I can see the faxes of my transcript and test scores sent today by my counselor on my locker. But, I can’t see the school profile?! She sent them today, but separately from test scores and transcript. Are students allow to see the school profiles? Also, if my counselor deleted the previous faxes she sent on her account, I don’t need to delete them right? (The things she faxed the first time never showed up on my locker)</p>

<p>Okay, this is a minor thing, but could somebody please answer if they know?</p>

<p>How do we change our personal photo. There’s a link to ‘View your current personal photo’ but I don’t see anywhere that allows us to change it. Anybody know how?</p>
