<p>YxSilentxY if you aren’t already a part of it, Questbridge has a Facebook group for finalists. There’s a lot of great people on it and we have fun chats about pretty much anything. For me, it was a great stress reliever during this whole admission process. Well, good luck with Stanford. I’m applying too so hopefully we can meet each other, face-to-face, on campus.</p>
<p>Don’t worry so much about the score, but your essays. :)</p>
