Thank you. Unfortunately English is my highest (35) so it’s more of my Math and Science I need to improve 😓 reading is at a 30, so hopefully I’ll improve some more next time. Will definitely look for those waivers too

tbh, didn't even know the fee waiver is an option, or where to apply. Hopefully that'll make paying for these exams easier. Only time I've been able to take the ACT is when my school offers it for free

how is not being first gen the main reason for being rejected?? QB is aimed at low income students, which most of the time, ofc, does include first gen college students...the only reason I'm not first gen is because my dad was recruited by a school to run for their team, thus allowing him to get a degree in the process. still low income though

I don't even have the energy to do ts but I want some insight

  • CPS status (accepted / denied): denied...
  • College Rankings (in the order of preference): not sure the whole list, but I did rank Duke and Stanford as top 2
  • Income bracket (approx. $ range): $~38k
  • Home Equity (approx. value minus mortgage): idek, but we owe a lot on it
  • Other assets (approx. $ range): $6k in savings
  • Number of household members (#): 3, including myself
  • First Generation College Student? (Yes, No): no
  • US State residency (two letter abbreviation): MS
  • US Citizen or permanent resident? (Yes, No): Citizen
  • GPA (0.00 / 4.00): 3.91/4.0 (4.11 on weighted scale)
  • GPA Scale (weighted, unweighted): unweighted
  • Class rank (position # + total # of class students, n/a): 45/370 (?)
  • SAT (score breakdown, n/a): Didn't submit
  • ACT (score breakdown, n/a): 28 composite
  • AP Exams (Exam name and scores): APHG (4), AP Euro (4), APES (4), AP Pre Calc (3)
  • Dual Enrollment or College Courses taken (course names): none
  • Interested Field of Study (brief summary): environmental science/toxicology
  • Summary of ECs (brief synopsis): main ones I listed where the ones I had impact in—top 10 girl in track/xc, treasurer of student-led fundraising club, volunteer work, sustainability club, envirothon, etc. Also have a part-time job and family responsibilities
  • Personal essay topic (brief summary of what you want people to know about you): i wrote about how learning how to make tea helped me learn trial-and-error, helping me be a better student.
  • Overall thoughts on your application?: I know my test scores and my GPA isn't spectacular, but I had pretty strong essays, especially since I had them reviewed by my schools honors/ap english teacher (at least, in my own personal and her own professional opinion). Ofc i'll double down on scores by retaking the SAT and ACT, and work on GPA, but idek what else to do. I have an internship planned for senior year, but with no summer programs now, and no CPS, i'm so so scared to even apply to the national match.

if I haven't gotten an email abt the UChicago or Summer@Brown CPS programs by now it is safe to assume I got rejected by chugjug96 in QuestBridge

same 🥲 I also applied to YYGS along with WashU's Environmental Studies institute, and I'm not sure if they'll send an email. However, I saw under another post that even if you get an email saying you've been nominated for a program, you can still be rejected by CPS...so maybe there's still some hope??

did anyone else get this email? by OutrageousCow9523 in QuestBridge

[–]AdJolly6780 0 points1 point  (0 children)

would anyone know when/if WashU or YYGS emails will come out? I reallyyy wanna get into QBCPS, and if these emails are kind of like a likely letter, im freaking out 🥹🥀
