<p>November 30 is THE date!</p>
<p>From the Stanford FAQ on the Questbridge site:</p>
<p>How does the Match Process work with Stanford?
Stanford is a match partner with QuestBridge. For QuestBridge Finalists who wish to be considered for a Match with Stanford, students will submit the Common Application along with the Stanford Supplement, which can be found at <a href="http://www.commonapp.org%5B/url%5D">http://www.commonapp.org</a>. </p>
<p>Students will be considered a Regular Decision applicant in our process, although the Match offer will be made in December and is a non-binding offer. Students who match with Stanford are allowed to submit Regular Decision applications to other institutions.</p>
<p>Bondgirl, is it the sentence "although the Match offer will be made in December and is a non-binding offer" that remains troublesome? </p>
<p>Do you realize that November 30th is a Friday? Thus, on a Friday, a small number of QB staffers will attempt to CALL about 100 (maybe a couple of dozen more in 2007) lucky finalists who were matched. Since this is the first day that the result of QB algorithm becomes public to candidates and schools, the winning school could not possibly extend a match offer until the following business day. Also, as you correctly quoted, the official letter of acceptance will not be issued until the first permitted date for RD.</p>
<p>Yes, it was that sentence that bothered me, as well as "The Match Process for Stanford is designed slightly differently from some other Match Partners". which is also on the Stanford FAQ page. I didn't realize that some of the schools had FAQ pages, until my son went to look at the list of supplemental info that each school requires. After reading these FAQ's, I am discovering some things I had not realized before he submitted the application, and I am just trying to get clarification on the items that seem contradictory.</p>
<p>15 more days till we get finalist status!</p>
<p>Omg!!!!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>they call us?? dannggg my phone sucks :(</p>
<p>I thought it was by email or something</p>
<p>hey guys...</p>
<p>I emailed QB a few days ago about how we find out---I found out from them that we're going to get emails during the evening of the 26th. </p>
<p>"You will be notified by email in the evening of the Oct 26."</p>
<p>Wow...it's coming fast!</p>
<p>Yea, i know!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>Can't wait, let's cross our fingers, hands and toes.</p>
<p>i'm crossing my head and hair for this!!!</p>
<p>can't believe it's at night...</p>
<p>lol, i know i'll be up until i receive what i got.</p>
<p>I'm getting horrible flashbacks to when I would count down to when SAT scores came out...</p>
<p>I guess I need to go work in UC apps now (due Nov 30 :-P) and probably should start on early apps just in case...</p>
<p>Stanford wanted a 9 by 12 envelope and I gave in one that was slightly bigger? You dont think this will hurt my chances right?</p>
<p>....where does Stanford say they want 9x12 envelopes..?
Does any other school require this?</p>
<p>I never knew envelope size correlates to admissibility. Strange world, half an inch gets you in or not.</p>
<p>itsabout 11 by 14 instead of 9 by 12?</p>
<p>"OMG My envelope is 2 inches too big, omg, I'm rejected, omg, theyre just gonna throw it in the reject pile"</p>
<p>Maybe you're just taking college worry a little too far.</p>
<p>My advice, relax, you're not automatically rejected because your envelope is 2 inches larger. If you seriously believe that, then you need some help buddy.</p>
