Questbridge 2012

<p>How do u know if u are rejected or not?</p>

<p>Looks like my D was:</p>

<p>Nominated to receive telementoring-Link says someone will contact her
Nominated for all expense paid campus visit-Link says someone will contact her
Waitlisted for College Admissions Conference-Has to write an essay to accept
Denied Scholarship to Summer College Program-ok cause we had a back-up
Encouraged to apply for College Match in August</p>

<p>However, I’m wondering if she was nominated, waitlisted, and denied for the programs if that means she is not competitive for College Match or did they run out of room at the conferences. I’m not sure if she should apply or branch out on her own. We really needed/wanted was a visit to Stanford or Northwestern, because it’s just not possible for us to swing those visits. Plus the telementoring is a great bonus if she gets it.</p>

<p>Congrats to everyone and their children by the way. I’m sure it must be such a relief to know schools are interested in you visiting their campuses.</p>

<p>Hi guys! I’m a QuestBridge College Prep Scholar too! Congratz to all the other QB scholars! I was also concerned about the decisions for the summer programs. I e-mailed QB and they replied telling me:</p>

<p>" Thank you for your inquiry about the college summer program. Final decisions for summer school nominations have not yet been made. Students who are selected will be contacted by mid-May."</p>

<p>So I guess they haven’t made the decisions yet and we’ll know in mid-May. I REALLY hope I get into one of the programs. Either this or taking a class at a local college :stuck_out_tongue: Anyway, good luck to the rest of you!</p>

<p>Actually, I’m afraid most of the summer program nominees have probably been selected already. A few days after getting the initial email telling me I was a prep scholar I received another one telling me I was nominated for a summer school program and was asked to call them to set everything up. However, since I already had plans for the summer I had to turn it down. It might be worth noting that the specific program I was nominated for wasn’t the one I applied for, but it was definitely one they matched me with due to what I wrote about in my essays and interests section. A couple other people will probably end up receiving emails too, as some of the nominees will most likely be turning the offer down now that most summer programs decisions have already come out.</p>

<p>@pentupenguin Congrats! which program did you get selected into?</p>

<p>My son was nominated to receive telementoring from an Amherst College student. According to the website link to the winners, only 300 out of 5300 applicants got this.
However, we must send another separate application to be qualified before next spring.</p>

<p>Every winner was nominated for an all-expense-paid campus visit. However, you need to get the invitation from any of the partner colleges(who will pay this fee). Some of the partners colleges do not even offer this award</p>

<p>They invited some to College Admissions Conference and put others on waitlist which require to send another short essay to be qualified. My son is in the waitlist.</p>

<p>For the college summer program, they did pick some winners.
You will get the deny email if you are either not qualify or not apply for it.(My son did not apply for this one due to his high school summer internship.)
You are still have chance otherwise.(until May)</p>

<p>It looks like the winners for Quest for excellence award won’t be announced until June except Fein Fellows.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>I was invited to the Stanford University Conference on May 12th, but I can’t go do to economic reasons. I applied for the grant, but today I received an email that said that I didn’t get it. I still don’t want to give up, and I will try to fund-raise-but there is so little time that I don’t think I can raise it. Anyways, my question is the following: Is it really worth attending the conference? What will I miss? I know it’s a great opportunity, and I really want go. It’s just that I live in Texas and it would be really expensive for me to go. Also I am asking this because one of my family members has some money saved which could cover most of the trip, but I would feel bad because I know they need it as well. Can someone who has been through this or knows someone please give me information or advice? Thank you.</p>

<p>Hey does anybody know the details about the computers we won for being selected as fein fellows?</p>

<p>Did anyone get a travel grant to the Northwestern conference? I received one but it is still not enough to cover the cost of attending. I guess I’ll have to fundraise.</p>

<p>bump on the laptop</p>

<p>For the laptop, they will contact you and offer you 3 different options. One is they will buy it and send it to you, the other is you can have the money put in an account for one of the computer companies and then pick out the one you want, and I can’t remember the 3rd right now. You can pay the difference for an upgrade if you chose to do so. It is a great reward to receive and you should be very proud of your accomplishments. QuestBridge was one of the best things to happen to my daughter, and we will be forever grateful for everything they have done for her!</p>

<p>The three options i got were a dell gift certificate, an apple gift certificate, or a reimbursement of equal value</p>

<p>if i didn’t get any email concerning summer programs, is it safe to assume that i was just rejected??? i emailed questbridge a week ago, and they replied: "If you are selected for a scholarship to a college summer program, you’ll be notified soon. If you do not hear from us, unfortunately you have not been selected. "</p>

<p>they’re killing me with the wait!!</p>
