Progress Reports

<p>WHAT HAVE I DONE BY ASKING THIS QUESTION e___e</p>

<p>you have crushed all of our hopes and dreams, lumiya. just kidding :)</p>

<p>Actually, I was asked to fax them my progress report about a week before the deadline for notification through Questbridge. Iā€™m actually glad they did that because my grades back then were better than what I have now. Granted, theyā€™re still pretty good, but wow. In the end, I was matched with Pomona, so Iā€™m happy.</p>

<p>FBaez413, YOU were asked? or your counselor was?</p>

<p>well, questbridge, to my general lack of knowledge, is pretty different from regular admissions procedures</p>

<p>Congratz on you match to Pomona, FBaez413!</p>

<p>My counselor wasnā€™t asked to send a progress report :frowning: im sure they didnā€™t want ALL questionable studentsā€™ progress reports, but still. Im sadish. Haha im going for pitzerā€¦ Mostly because I can probably get in there and I still want to be near Pomona. But im supposed to go down and visit Pomona on Dec 21st, and if i donā€™t get in ill have to tour pitzer :(</p>

<p>pitzerā€™s not that bad, sarsoccerstar! iā€™ve been and itā€™s a very interesting group of people, and they are SO friendly. my friend goes there and he absolutely LOVES it. what about SCRIPPS? itā€™s BEAUTIFUL. my counselor wasnā€™t asked eitherā€¦</p>

<p>MY COUNSELOR GOT A REQUEST, WHAT DO I DO I HAVE A C??? i mean i canā€™t do anythingā€¦ but likeā€¦ OHMYGOSH I HAVE A C.</p>

<p>THEYā€™RE STILL SENDING THEM OUT? OMG IM SO GOING TO BUG MY COUNSELOR EVERYDAY! I would call the admissions office and explain why! Say your teacher hadnā€™t entered all the grades in the gradebook or youā€™re missing a test because you were absent or SOMETHING! and I know pitzers not bad and Scripps is beautiful but I want Pomona! Hahaha and I decided on pitzer over Scripps because of the all girls thing. It just was a small factor. That and the whole no sat score thing at pitzer.</p>

<p>Wahh still no request :(</p>

<p>I emailed my area representative and told her that I have every intention of bringing them up and how it is not representative of my ability. I told her how it was difficult for me to acquire the work ethic in the beginning of my 10th grade year and start getting good grades but I did it, but throwing college applications into the mix created a whole new kind of beast for meā€¦ which is 100% trueā€¦ so :confused: hopefully she prints this out and reads it to the committee or somethingā€¦</p>

<p>I really hope it works out for you!</p>

<p>That goes for you to. And donā€™t worry so much, this whole thing is probably a precaution for people on the fence (:() and Pomona will still give you the fair evaluation that you deserve.</p>

<p>9 more daysā€¦</p>

<p>I would definitely be on the fence. My SAT scores were so ridiculously low and my GPA wasnā€™t THAT great (even with serious upward trends/rigorous course load). Idk I was hoping that two fairly unique essays, amazing interview and good ECs would save me. Guess weā€™ll find out. Iā€™m banning myself from CC/Facebook from Sunday until I hear back haha I truly honestly hope we are all accepted here on CC :)</p>

They contacted me and my counselor was contacted, but she didnā€™t do anything. I had to go to her and ask her to do it and provide a copy that I kept.</p>

<p>I think Iā€™ll do what sarsoccersar is gonna do.
except it wonā€™t last long, since I live above Sacramento and Iā€™ll prob get my decision like tuesday or wednesdayā€¦</p>

<p>Yeah I live in the SF bay area so it should be a fairly short lived thing for me too. I mostly have yo stay off of Facebook (even though Iā€™m the only one from my school that applied ED) because my friend from another school applied ED and heā€™s got a way better chance at getting in that I do. Haha</p>

<p>The college counselors were notified, right? No one has been contacted individually for their progress report?</p>

<p>I havenā€™t been contacted personally for my progress report. Iā€™ll check if my counselor got it though.</p>

<p>GOOD LUCK EVERYONE! <3 Iā€™m getting anxious now haha.</p>
