is anyone completely done? Im missing most of it but i am determined to finish
I have everything finished, just need to update my college preferences
I just got an email from QuestBridge that explains that my application’s deadline has been extended until Thursday, March 29th! Did anyone else receive this email? The deadline on the actual application still reads March 21st, though.
@borromini Yeah, I got the exact same email a few minutes ago.
I hope I get that email, I still need some time to finish!
I didn’t get that email, but I heard it was only for some people and not everyone. Is this true? @WolfPhoenix @borromini
Based on your qualifications, we believe you could be a strong candidate for the 2018 College Prep Scholars Program. Therefore, we have extended your deadline to complete your application until Thursday, March 29, at 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time. Your teacher will also have an extension until Thursday, March 29, to complete your recommendation.
My daughter received this today.How would they know her qualifications if she hasn’t submitted her application or is this just the standard email they send?Big relief though because she isn’t all done.
@shipoo Has she entered in her test scores? Maybe those are the qualifications they are going off of.
I think she has but, she had told me the application didn’t go in till she sent the application part.Who knows just grateful she has a little more time.
@shipoo Well, maybe they saw how great her scores were! Good luck to her!
That’s strange that they would only send out an extension for some applicants before they see anything. I wonder why? Well anyway how many words do you guys have for the biographical essay?
Did I miss the Q and A session?
I got it too…DAFUQ…is it legit?
Hello, people of College Confidential. I am too applying for this and all my essays right now are kind of crap. The first one is kind of boring so I made it kinda funny because it just was not like riveting. The last two weren’t that great either but I didn’t really wanna bring too much humor in it because of the subject matter. For the perspective one I wrote about the first time I saw a dead body on the side of the road and how it taught me to stop treating everything like an inconvenience, etc. The third one about the community I wrote about how I really appreciated our small community but when a trans girl committed suicide at our school, everyone refused to acknowledge because in my district we actually have a pretty high suicide rate and it seems like we all know each other but fail to see each other. But I am having the HARDEST time on my long essay. So far I have been writing about experiencing racism in elementary school, my OCD and my hearing loss but IDK If it is too much. PLZ SEND HELP…
XOXO

@fatimacubillas Hey! I’m only a junior, same as you, so take my words with a grain of salt.
I think you might be trying to fit in too much in your long essay. Unless your childhood experience, OCD and hearing loss fit in perfectly together, you might want to choose one to focus on. If you’re really determined to fit all three, make sure you tell it like a story, and that you finish up explaining how those experiences led you to your goals/positive future.
As for your short essays, the ideas sound great. Good luck!
For those of you who received the email with an extension, when did you receive it? and did you already submit your application prior to receiving the email?
Haha, I also did not get it @miamiangel1
She got it today around noon pacific time.Application not in but ACT and PSAT submited.
Thank you maybe it’s because she had submitted her ACT and PSAT.Maybe people that have those scores in got the extension.
