<p>"GCs always get them earlier than us. They aren't allowed to tell us, though. We have to wait for the letter from CB."</p>

<p>So we will get our scores from CB before we get them from our schools? I don't remember getting this letter as a sophomore.</p>

<p>You never got your score in the mail?</p>

<p>Idk, I might have, but I definitely got my scores from my school before the mail. Now the high schools wait until after you receive the mail before they give you the scores?</p>

<p>You get mailed your PSAT stuff at all? My school only makes us wait forever to get that simple sheet of paper but nothing was ever mailed to me.</p>

<p>To my knowledge the only notification you will receive is from your high school. Based on my kids taking this 4 of the last 5 years, nothing comes from CB.</p>

<p>WHAATTT??? Dude, CB def. mails you a score report.</p>

<p>I never got a score report in the mail. Just a big piece of paper from the counselor. you guys got your score already? gc said we're getting our scores in jan...</p>

<p>Yeah nothing in the mail.</p>

<p>Oh, right. It was my school that mailed the PSAT score report to me.</p>

<p>So when do they do that?</p>

<p>Before Christmas mathwhiz....</p>

<p>Edit: Are you from Phillips Exeter mathwhiz???</p>

<p>Andover I think.</p>

<p>bump
The app needs to come out sooon.<br>
And a question that's been asked before: Would it look bad to send in SAT scores instead of PSAT? On last year's app there was a special place for PSAT scores. Should I just leave it blank? </p>

<p>Also, is there a page limit for question #2?</p>

<p>Why would it look bad if you send SAT scores? I think there is a spot on the app that ask you for SAT scores and if anything, SAT scores prob measures ur abilities better. What were you going to do about the special place for the PSAT if you dont have to score , draw happy faces?</p>

<p>Doesnt the essay directions ask for your answer in 1 or 2 paragraphs? I'm not sure.</p>

<p>i second the happy face idea</p>

<p>There's no reason to give PSAT scores over SAT scores; it's just that most juniors haven't taken SATs yet. "PSAT or equivalent SAT" (and possibly ACT? I'm not sure) scores are referenced somewhere or other as being okay. Don't worry about it.</p>

<p>Regarding a page limit, the entire short-answer/"essay" section is supposed to be 3 pages or less, I believe, but beyond that there's no limit for #2 (i.e. if you can fit everything else in half a page and want to use 2.5 pages for #2, go ahead.)</p>

<p>lol, right. well, i was going to leave it blank, but thanks for the idea.</p>

I submitted an ACT score since I didn't have PSAT or SAT scores. Really anything will do.</p>

<p>I'm so nervous for PSATs. I know I got two wrong on math and skipped one (gah! stupid tiles)...so I'm prettymuch completely done in. Did people ever get in with lower stats?</p>

<p>^^^ Of course, but they got in with other outstanding credentials.</p>

<p>I think staticsoliloquy (sp?) had a 206, but he was heading his own project in a hospital...</p>

<p>so...yeah...</p>
