<p>wait so they ALREADY notified people?
what's the difference between semi-final and final? I thought you just make it or you don't.</p>
<p>Yeah, I thought they just let you know, but I guess since so many people applied, they wanted to winnow down the applicants a bit to know more about them. Whoever gets past semifinals are chosen, after submission of what I was saying earlier and a possible telephone interview. All the stuff is supposed to be in by the end of tomorrow, and the winners should be chosen within 7 days from today.</p>
<p>oh wow, so I guess if we didn't get a email yet, we didn't make it for sure :(</p>
<p>LOL yeah I didn't get an email. I don't blame them though, my scores weren't fantastic and my recommendation was probably very trite and cliche.</p>
<p>I did, however get $4550 from Harvard for SSP 8-week. Now I only have to pay $1700, so if you still want to do SSP, I urge you to get in those financial aid applications if the deadlines hasn't passed yet. :)</p>
<p>There's only like 20 more minutes until tomorrow! (haha) I hope they send them right on the dot... but perhaps not.</p>
<p>good luck you guys!!! Now I just want a laptop lol, my old one broke down and I have to use my dads hehe </p>
<p>Are you all going to apply for the college scholarship next year??</p>
<p>:( lol! ugh! Howd do i get the laptop? lol! I hope i get one :D lol. :(</p>
<p>Hi. Anyone have results yet?</p>
<p>Not me, just semifinalist standing. How about you?</p>
<p>how did you get semifinalist standing?</p>
<p>i have bad feelings about this</p>
<p>Nope. :( Haven't heard a thing. :(</p>
<p>i can't view my application anymore on the website</p>
<p>can you semifinalists/finalists try?</p>
<p>maybe they already rejected me and took it off the site to free up space :(</p>
<p>No. Once you've submitted your application, you're no longer able to view it/ I wasn't able to.</p>
<p>i was able to.. for like a week</p>
<p>oh. i was never able to. today's my birthday! i hope they choose me. i don't want to be sobbing on my birthday. lol.</p>
<p>a super disorganized organization. I also have bad feelings about the process. if you arent a first generation or minority then fuggitaboutit. plus why say you are going to get an email on the 20th then notify people early. still no email and im mad because i spent a ton of time on it and submitted everything the within the first couple of days. i dont think its fair people with missing things got consideration before people like me that busted their butt to get everything in on time.</p>
<p>Do any of the semi-finalists here know when the QuestBridge people are going to update us next? Who else is feeling kinda uneasy that we were given a day's notice to submit all the materials?</p>
<p>i've worked really hard for this....and i'm so disappointed to Questbridge organization that they notified only to the finalists or the semifinalists.</p>
<p>I was waiting for this day so long....oh..well..hoping to get an laptop at least..</p>
<p>Darn..It's really depressing..=(</p>
<p>Yeah. I worked really hard on my application.</p>
<p>No notice. I guess I wasn't picked. Congrats to those who were!</p>
