When will we hear back from them in regards to decisions?
@athena11 I think last year they got their results on April 22. On the questcast they said by end of Apri.
Bump :^) This chat is lately inactive these days lmao… Anyways, how do you all feel about your applications? Do you think you will accepted in, or do you not? Honestly, I feel like I have a good shot at getting in, but I probably won’t get into any of the summer programs.
@sugarysnow The thread will probably get active near the end of April. And I feel like I have a good chance also, and I’m really hoping to get an award, even though I have a tiny chance.
@solarsystem What did you apply for? I applied for the arts and the science awards. My essays on them were pretty rushed though (as I did them the night before lol), so I’m not expecting too much for the awards.
@sugarysnow I applied for the usa, science, and art ones. Idk if they’re that good, but I’m hoping for the best
@solarsystem This is a bit of a weird question, but did you write until you reached the maximum word count/amount? I did for all my essays, but not for my awards.
@sugarysnow Yeah,all my essays for the whole application were up to the limit or like 1 or 2 words off. There were times where I had to shorten some of them because they were a bit too long.
@sugarysnow I have a sinking feeling in my stomach that I won’t be selected. In fact, I practically know I won’t be selected. I don’t think my essays were the problem, however. I think my academics with the consideration of my living conditions are just not up to par.
@Naperthrill I have this feeling too! I just got waitlisted for a summer program I applied to, which made me feel like I’m not going to get into this as well. I did work hard on my essays but my family income/assets are probably not bad enough.
@Naperthrill @HappySquirrel I think the best way to approach this is with cautious optimism :^) Academics don’t necessarily mean everything when it comes to a program like Questbridge, and if you think that your essays are good, then there’s still definitely the possibility of getting in.
When do we find out the decisions?
Please correct me if I am wrong, but I believe that we find out late April!
@theboyoverthere @absolutevalue You’re right, we’ll know in late April. :^) Super stoked & nervous to hear the results!
Is it just me or do you guys also catch yourself checking your application page everyday, as if it will magically appear that you’ve been accepted?
@CMKingOfFI definitely not only you, but we just have to wait. By the way, I’ve been reading this discussion for a while but hadn’t entered. Wish you all good luck! I’m very nervous but also excited!
@CMKingOfFl All the time haha :> Same goes for my email. I remember last week getting an email from Questbridge, and getting so hyped even when I knew results would be coming out in late April, and it ended up being a reminder to submit my supplemental requirements for the awards.
@francescawoodm Definitely nervous and excited as well! Are you satisfied with your application? Did you apply for any awards? :^)
@CMKingOfFl I’m excited too, but I don’t want to count my chickens before they hatch. ~:>
@sugarysnow I am happy with how it turned out considering I heard about everything somewhat late into the process and had to rush to get everything I needed. And I applied for the immigrants one! What about you?
