@bluepaint1 “The Mid-Year Report is an application form that a school counselor typically submits to colleges once a student’s first semester (or first trimester) grades are recorded on the transcript. The form itself is usually submitted along with a most recent official transcript.” college.admithub.com
It seems that some of the partner schools have their own link and form, others rely on the form that the “recommender” (aka counselor) completes and submits through the Common Application. Rice’s form is, in fact, available for you to print and take to the counselor. You’ll just have to keep checking for your live link for Vanderbilt’s.
Hope that helps you, it was certainly a revelation to me.
Also matched to Stanford! @putsky if you go down to your list of colleges that you are applying to (RD) on the Manage page, you’ll see the “RD Form (due Dec 9).” Click edit and then the update button is at the bottom. You can update the page as many times as you like
@lilmonet1 thank you!!! Is anyone else going to RD for Penn? On the Questbridge page it says Penn needs the Common App for people who ranked penn and submitted all materials… Since I already submitted the Common App is that fine? Or will I somehow have to submit it again?
@putsky I believe any university you applied to during the match will automatically use your application and other materials to consider you for regular decision.
Do I have to submit the regular decision form if I was matched? It still says “Required” in red, and I’m wondering if I should just submit it without choosing any universities.
Ok so I’m kind of in a bind. Quest bridge regular decision is coming up (deadline Dec 9th). To be honest, my quest bridge application was’t great. I was kind of writing the essays until the last minute so they are not that good.I know Questbirdge sends the applications to partner schools for RD, but I don’t want them to read the bad essays. I was contemplating if I should apply without quest bridge to some schools for regular decisions.
Would it be better to send them my quest bridge application with bad essays or apply through RD with quest bridge finalists as an award on my application? But now that I think about it, the admissions would probably find it weird if I was a finalist and the didn’t get my application from quest bridge.
@Alpha101 the form that says which schools you’re applying to RD is due Dec 9, but the regular decision applications aren’t due until January 1. I wasn’t sure if you knew this or not
Also, I think you should go for it & apply through Questbridge because the biographical essays do give at least some insight to your admission officers about your background. Also, some schools give you the option to use the Common App or the QB app (Pomona, for example) in which you can just send in your Common App.
@lilmonet1 Yeah I know about the dec. 9th deadline. That’s why I was trying to decide right now. I think I’ll just apply to all the the schools with questbridge. Let’s hope for the best!
There is a list of schools (http://www.questbridge.org/automatic-rd) that will automatically consider you for regular decision IF you ranked the school but did not match. My question is, Amherst and Bowdoin college are on this list, but on their respective pages it says that one must fill out a supplement… Doesn’t quite sound like automatic consideration to me… anybody understand?
I previously got rejected from them when I applied college match. This mean it was harder to get in with college match than Early decision. Wow I really wasn’t expecting this. I didn’t think they would accept an applicant that they literally rejected a week ago. So happy!!!
Just waiting to see how much financial aid they give me. I think I heard questbridge finalists that get into partner school get their need matched too. Columbia is expensive though. Just the meal plan with dorm tuition is like $12,000.
I applied with college match to Yale and columbia. Unfortunately I did not get matched to either. But shortly after Columbia sent an email asking if I wanted to transfer my application to ED, and I did. And I was lucky enough to get accepted.
I have heard about several people not attending binding partner schools that they were matched to. How does that work? Are there consequences? How do the schools not blacklist you?
