<p>Hey guys, how are your questbridge college prep scholarships going? What do you think are your chances of getting in? I'm so freakin excited but I know 80% chance I'm not getting in but oh wells =]</p>
<p>I’m also applying for the the scholarship program. I sent my transcript and SAT scores in, but I completely forgot about my PSAT and AP scores… 
I haven’t even began the personal statements yet, but I’m on break so I’ll get to it this week. </p>
<p>I know I don’t stand a good chance, my SAT scores are embarrassing… I’m just hoping I can pull off a good essay.</p>
<p>I’m also applying. I’ve filled out everything in the application so far except the personal essays. I have such extreme writer’s block, and the deadline is in 4 days.
I feel like my grades and test scores aren’t going to be enough. ughhh, I wish I was smarter.</p>
<p>i don’t quite know what to feel because my guidance counselor still hasn’t faxed my transcripts yet… :P</p>
<p>and we’re on spring break until the 27th… </p>
<p>this could end badly. :(</p>
<p>Ah, I finally finished my essays and personal statements. They are definitely not my best work, but oh well, I’ll keep revising them until the deadline date. Now, I just gotta have my dad fill out the FA portion. </p>
<p>Anyone know the acceptance rate for the College Prep Scholarship Program? My grades, ecs, essays, SATs are all not that great :/</p>
<p>How many programs can we apply for?
and can we still apply if the programs overlap?</p>
<p>What did you guys write for your reasons?
boomboomboom…
you dont have to answer all of those questions</p>
<p>I haven’t read anything so far about the limit as to how many programs you can apply to. I’m applying to 3- Harvard, Stanford and Yale just in case I don’t get Harvard (which is the one I want the most)
Not sure what I put, but it was something about how I would do something w/ the knowledge I gained from attending… not very strong, imo. </p>
<p>Anyways, what are all of you guys hoping to get? (I don’t care much about any of the other awards besides the full ride to a college prep program)</p>
<p>@Chaskins: hahaha. Your checklist is opposite from me. I’m applying Yale, Stanford, and Harvard. Preference in that order ;)</p>
<p>I’m hoping to get the laptop/counseling/expense-paid college visit awards. It’s unlikely that I’ll get the summer program, so I’m already signed up for something else in case I don’t get the program.</p>
<p>Best of luck to everyone.</p>
<p>BTW, is it just me or is the QuestBridge website really slow for the last 4 hours?</p>
<p>I’m having the same problem. 
And all I have left to do it submit. Grr.
Writing the personal statement was almost physically painful. </p>
<p>Yup, best of luck to all. :D</p>
<p>I signed up for Stanford’s summer program, I was honestly too lazy to sign up for any more haha </p>
<p>Kennyla: For labtop, you meant the QFE awards, right? Which essay(s) did you do? I did the first generation one, but knowing that they pick only 1 winner for each essay, let’s just say I’m pretty hopeless in winning that. </p>
<p>Best of luck to all as well. The personal statements were a huge pain, most of mine were three incredibly long sentences x_x</p>
<p>BTW, I think I read somewhere that only 10 students get picked for the college prep scholarship.
Is there any truth to this? 10/4000+ is an insane amount of competition. :(</p>
<p>^ That’s false, it says on the Questbridge website:</p>
<p>“QuestBridge’s College Prep Scholarship provides more than 1,500 awards that give outstanding low-income high school juniors the knowledge they need to compete for admission to leading colleges.”</p>
<p>:)</p>
<p>Unless you’re talking about a certain section of the program?</p>
<p>@Chaskins: For summer programs, I think I read somewhere that it’s 50 this year. But idk from where.
The worst case scenario is, truly, 10/4000. That’s why I thought the chance of me making it isn’t that high.</p>
<p>@feedback: yes, it’s the Q for Excellence award. I’m also doing 1st gen college, but add Art and Physician to the mix.</p>
<p>QuestBridge is lagging so badly.</p>
<p>is anyone able to access the website?</p>
<p>no unforttunatelly :{ it totally crash because too many people on in the same time…</p>
<p>Thank god i submitted last week but i didnt edit anything yet…ugh i fail</p>
<p>What did you guys write about and Keep in touch and tell me if you guys got in~~~ i fail… haha</p>
<p>Is QuestBridge only for juniors and sophomores? I procrastinated on my app…</p>
<p>The app due today is only for juniors. The one in September is only for seniors.</p>
