Questbridge - 2007-2008

<p>i didnt do the match program but i did get into princeton with a very generous scholarship. i went to harvard SSP for summer :)</p>

<p>Hey you guys!</p>

<p>How many letters of recommendation did you guys fax? </p>

<p>Do you need to have 3? Initially, I thought only one was needed. But I am getting the impression I might need 3. Ugh! I am starting to give up on this. I doubt I am going to get it. :(</p>

<p>If I remember correctly it was one no more than 2</p>

<p>Rosh420, stop making people around you feel bad. It's quite clear from your letter that you are a finalist: "Essentially, you are finalists." People around you haven't even gotten a letter; don't fish around for support. It's clear that you are a finalist already. </p>

<p>Anyways.. you needed at least only 1 letter. Up to 3 could have been sent. Good luck to everyone who applied.</p>

<p>I only send one.</p>

<p>Murky, you need to stop feeling bad for yourself. As someone already pointed out, they just started looking over applications. I am not a finalist for Questbridge. I am a finalist for the African American Seminar at Notre Dame. I am not fishing around for support, and if you don't like what i have to say, you could stop reading this thread. And if you feel bad that I am a finalist, that's just pathetic, and quite "envious" if you hadn't realized.</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>I am not feeling bad for myself. Mea culpa, I sincerely believed that the email meant that you were not only a finalist for the seminar but also QB itself. </p>

<p>The seminar is PART of the college prep scholarship (<a href="http://www.questbridge.org/cps/summer_school.html)%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.questbridge.org/cps/summer_school.html)&lt;/a>, so if you are selected for the seminar, you have essentially won the scholarship, as well.</p>

<p>It's not that I don't like what you're saying -- it's just that while you have been notified by QB, others have not. Good luck to you for the seminar. I am not feeling bad that you are a finalist. I am simply saying that there is a good chance that you are a finalist and essentially you already have a notice from QB, which is a lot more than others have.</p>

<p>And no, I am not envious. I was interested in Harvard SSP, after all ;-)</p>

<p>I thought the scholarship and summer stuff are evaluated separatly??? I didn't think that you could be accept into BOTH at the SAME TIME. </p>

<p>murkywater, what session for SSP did you pick? I picked the full session, don't know if that will affect my chances.</p>

<p>I picked full session, too.</p>

<p>Hey you guys.</p>

<p>Quick question. How long did it take for them to acknowledge that they recevied your recommendation. I am getting nervous. They still say they haven't received mine, but I submitted it.</p>

<p>Congradulations Rosh420! I hope they get everything and you have a blast! I was worried about Questbridge becuase I really wanted to do HArvard SSP but I got into LEAD, so I'm at peace with my summer plans. Good luck to everyone who applied!</p>

<p>did you get a confirmation email?</p>

<p>What do you mean?</p>

<p>oh no sorry, to the applicants, did you all get confirmations?</p>

<p>no confirmation. -_-</p>

<p>Im really getting anxious about Questbridge!!!!!</p>

<p>Well the Semifinals for the summer school scholarship program must have gone out today, because I got one as an email, so I'm definitely excited. I have to send in tax stuff, transcripts, and test scores by tomorrow, and good luck to you all, hope you also go on in the competition!</p>

<p>Aww, man, I must not be a semi-finalist.
Dang.</p>

<p>I guess I was just getting my hopes up too much as this sort of thing would be the only way I could afford a summer session :)</p>

<p>Oh well then. I didn't get anything. How sad. I wonder if they received my Recommendation Letter. Oh well. :(</p>

<p>Me either, although my summer plans are pretty set, I was just curious to see if I had what they were looking for........we'll see tomarrow</p>
