Questbridge College Prep Scholarship 2015 Applicant Thread

^^ Of course they do, lol. Even more waiting! If they continue their pattern decision should be released at 4 pm CT…but who knows.

Shouldn’t it be 5pm Ct if it’s 3pm PST?

@MuQueen yes, but it came out at 2-3 est the past few years
So idk if we’re getting it today

Man I was really hoping today since it was on April 22 three past years

I am going to give it till 7:00 p.m central (5:00 pacific).

I could bet the results will not be released today, and probably not this week. It was all a false alarm which served to trick most of us (myself included).

@DominicBayer Yes! Exactly! Really annoyed because I actually thought that decisions would be released today, and was anxiously waiting for an email, but every time I got a notification, it would be some dumb email from a college lol.

With reference to your question, I’m planning to apply through the Questbridge’s National College Match program (duh) to Northwestern, UChicago, Amherst, and UPenn, among a few others.

@ethiopienne random question… but are you by any chance Ethiopian??

I am!! (: @Samantha3

Coool! Me too!!!

Hey now, a fellow habesha!! Where are your top choices for colleges? @Samantha3

@ethiopienne
Emory, Rice, and U Penn
(But really if I got matched to any Questbridge school, that would be a dream come true!)
What about you?

@mzr1998. Absolutely understand your suffering and frustration: I thought for a moment that I had received my decision but it was just an email from Coursera.
Your choices are quite interesting. I’m planning on applying to the same colleges as you, except Amherst, but my top choices are Stanford and a non-QB college.

I’ll be applying to Yale, Tufts, and Notre Dame in that order through the Match hopefully. I might throw one or two of the other non-binding schools at the back of my list just in case but it depends on what happens senior year. The majority of my non-QB schools are target-ish schools (BU, Northeastern, a couple SUNY’s).
Hopefully we hear this week, I wont be able to handle a week of this before the SAT.

So… They’re not coming out today either? :confused:

@MuQueen unfortunately, no luck so far

@MuQueen. I believe they’ll probably come out next week. If they were coming out today or tommorrow, we would have probably received news already. Best not to expect them for this week.

do you think that perhaps the late decision release date might be a sign of an overwhelmingly large applicant pool this year? just wondering (and waiting in agony)

@mangoking. Quite possibly so. I was thinking the same thing. This would account for the tardiness of QB’s release of decisions.

True^ Maybe there was a larger pool and a lot of great applicants :wink:
