<p>Call or e-mail Questbridge, DD did that last week to have one removed and they did it and sent a confirming e-mail.</p>

<p>oh GA21012MOM, off the Match list or the Regular Decision list?</p>

<p>congrats to your daughter btw. Amherst is AMAZING. I was at the diversity open house in sept and I love it :)</p>

450

<p>and also I know we have to resend SAT scores, but what about AP?</p>

451

<p>and one more question, sorry :-P can we change our essays?</p>

452

<p>DD is a finalist-her two choices:</p>

<p>UChicago
Rice</p>

<p>Congrats to all other finalists! We are thrilled she made the cut.</p>

453

<p>skrugger24 I live in Georgia and I know someone from my school applied but don't know his status.</p>

454

<p>I fee like dropping Princeton and Columbia...I'm going to turn in my essays but just not going to spend a lot of time on them. I mean I'd go if i got in, but the doubt in my mind i have of being accepted is really high. I'm just going to spend more time on the 3 extra Stanford Essays and the Why Yale essay.</p>

<p>O GOD! We all have to finish all our essays and financial stuff over the next 3 days, including school work.. ZOMG!</p>

455

<p>Hello! I am the aforementioned DD of sclmom. True enough, My choices (prioritized this time around) are</p>

<ol>
<li>Rice</li>
<li>University of Chicago.</li>
</ol>

<p>And that, my fellow confidentialists, is IT. I didn't use Questbridge to apply anywhere else. Rice and UChicago are about as quirky as I am, and I respect that! </p>

<p>...do you think my chances of getting in are better since I've applied to two of the less popular schools? Yeah, me neither. Here's hoping!</p>

456

<p>Sheed30, if you really want to drop it, email Questbridge and explain</p>

457

<p>finishing all the essays...nerve-wracking, isn't it? I think I'll say my goodbyes to sleep while I still can.</p>

458

<p>I think i might skip school Tuesday and Wednesday to perfect my essays. I mean seriously, college is a lot more important than anything i'm doing in school, and if i can make everything up, it would be better than not giving it my all for my essays and apps.</p>

<p>And for AP scores, I have three 3s. Should I include those?</p>

459

<p>hmm skipping school does seem like a good idea...</p>

<p>Finalist!!!</p>

1. Notre Dame
2. UChig
3. Oberlin</p>

<p>Congrats to everyone else as well!</p>
