<p>i am 99% sure that you can use common application in regular decision, but QB is supposed to help...</p>
<p>The Questbridge site states you must take all required SAT and SAT II tests by, at the latest, October 6th 2007. I believe that is the next time they will be given. </p>
<p>As for the question about finalist apps, the QB site has a list of required documents for each individual school that must be sent in upon being notified that you are a finalist. There is not much time so be prepared, the deadline for most schools we have looked at is 11/2. </p>
<p>I have a question, has anyone ever tried to get a fee waiver card from there school GC? What types of questions do they ask? We should have no issue but I am wondering how much info will be required and since our school does not start til Sept 6th I cannot even get in touch w/ the GC's until the last week of August.</p>
<p>Usually you have to be on reduced/free lunch program to get the fee waiver card. </p>
<p>Thanks for the info about the SATII deadline. I wasn't going to apply because I hadnt taken the tests yet but now maybe I'll consider.</p>
<p>so if we are named as finalist do we have to send in additional information by 11/2 to the school we are ranking? I am taking the SAT's in October but can i still apply to schools such as Yale/Princeton who require the SAT 11s (if I take them in November) or am i not allowed to rank them?</p>
<p>Oh just the Questbridge finalists are made by Oct...well then I quess I'm just going to bypass the EA/ED and do the regular...can I do that?</p>
<p>I was re-checking our info today and I noticed that some schools do have later dates for submission but only within a couple of weeks.</p>
<p>As to the SAT question about taking the II's in November, this link should tell all you need or point you in the right direction:

<p>Here is another link to the Regular Decision table that will tell everything about whether or not you can use the QB app for RD at certain schools:

<p>does anyone know anything about the QB forum? the link to it por favor?</p>
<p>I'm so torn about Qbridge- I love Upenn, Duke, and Harvard schools that are not in the match process....Upenn (wharton) is my number one schoool.........but Yale Stanford and Princeton are all in my top 5.............decisions, decisions...........</p>
<p>Are the fin aid plans offered by the Universities different from those offered by Qbridge for familes with 40,000 and under income?</p>
<p>I don't know...can anyone answer my question?</p>
<p>The Questbridge says that although most of the applicants are from low income families, there is no "official" cutoff for family income.</p>
<p>Does anyone know what the SAT range for winners of the scholarships for College Match last year, I mean what is a competitive enough SAT knowing that everything is up to par (extracurriculors, class rank and GPA)? I was also wondering which universities in the questbridge patner colleges are really good when it comes to premed?</p>
<p>All the data including SAT ranges is on the questbridge web site, everthing broken down to pie charts.</p>
<p>if my dad just lost his job, and has a little business that earns about $20,000
per year, does college match program take account of that?</p>
<p>Whatever is income is taken into account but Questbridge encourages students to write about special circumstances. For instance, my DH is self employed and was in an accident this past June. So far he has been unable to work and it is unknown when he will be able to again. Ofc this has a bearing on our financial situation and my D will include this on her app. There are other mitigating factors as well that she will include. I told her, I don't care what you write when it comes to funding college pride should not be an issue.</p>
<p>I have another question, if I moved over the summer of my senior year and i am being forced to go to another HS, which ultimately means that my class rank has changed but that I'm still in the top 10 percent, will that have any bearing on my chances of winning the scholarship?</p>
<p>I don't think so, might actually help you.</p>
<p>Farr, I think Sheed30 might be right. If you transfer this year and your grades stay up there it shows tenacity in the face of great change. It could be a great thing for you.</p>
<p>Reading over the Questbridge requirements and application process makes me guess that a lot of people get must taken out of consideration pretty early in the game for not completing all of the application, not submitting everything in time, or forgetting to submit some things at all. It is a very complicated process and I imagine it can get very easy to miss things if you are not hyper organized about it. Does anyone else get this feeling? I am getting nervous just knowing we have under a month to get the guidance counselor to do their part and getting the teachers to send their rec's in the right way.</p>
<p>Yea, so not enough time for everything. it'll really hectic really fast.</p>
<p>Yes and for people that live in the pokey slow south it's even more hectic.</p>
<p>Things are not much better in the Northeast!! Last year my D had mono and I was basically after every teacher (via harassing the guidance counselor) for the month she was out to make sure she got her classwork and her grades did not suffer. Around the 3rd or 4th week the homework started to become available to us. A few thinly veiled threats later (she was never offered tutoring although she should have been and I made it known that I would make it an issue w/ the board) my D was all caught up within 2 weeks of coming back and her grades were never better!! Most of the teachers were great about her situation it just took them awhile to get going!</p>
