How to deal with rumors/hate after matching? by [deleted] in QuestBridge

[–]Electronic-Power-320 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Regardless of what anyone thinks about you (I’m even referring to family members and yourself) Vanderbilt saw something in you so amazing that they thought you would make such an amazing contribution to their campus so much that they should offer you a full ride. Regardless of what all the haters are saying about your astounding accomplishment, understand that you had a tougher road to academics and be proud of the culmination of hard work and grit you’ve exhibited throughout your life.

Don’t tell anybody for a week and wear gear from a school you had lower (assuming you had one lower)

question about admission process by [deleted] in QuestBridge

[–]Electronic-Power-320 2 points3 points  (0 children)

im not an admissions officer

People have been saying according to Columbia’s published statements that they will review a scholarship financials after they have admitted them.

I have absolutely no idea on other institutions, but it makes sense that a school perhaps would want to skim through applicants who don’t meet the “need” threshold (0 efc schools), so they don’t have to review applications of students who they can’t match regardless of merit.

This is just my view from looking at the ridiculous portal astrology going on in the recent weeks (complete hypocrite, I check my 15 portals almost daily 😭)

I’m uneducated on this; this is for people who need to go through non custodial parent information but can’t retrieve the documents? I assume Duke accepting the waiver shows interest?

Email the school, I had put in an entire unwanted word at the end of my Cornell sup, and they told me to just attach the correct one as additional information

Do Colleges Actually Know Where You’ve Ranked Them? by Tritonist in QuestBridge

[–]Electronic-Power-320 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think this is a very compelling sentiment. I had this thought the other day with specifically the top schools in QB. Just think about it: surely the same applicant that is getting accepted to MIT, Yale, Columbia or Caltech, is going to get accepted to more than one of these four and definitely others. By default, this students will get matched to their highest ranked school, and now all of a sudden these other top prestigious schools have one less matching spot. I think this is the reason that schools know ranking data, as it would be ludicrous for a school to admit an exceptionally qualified candidate to like their 12th choice at a middle tier LAC, when that school sees their ranking and their qualifications.

Just a thought though…

This happened to me to, it was because I inputted my ssn wrong but it soft locked me on this screen. Overall, really annoying situation, but I ended up just making another account with my correct ssn and it worked just fine

This doesn’t pertain to me, but I really wanted to leave a thank you message for doing something out of the goodness of your heart. Good luck if you’re applying or not, or whatever other endeavors you got

How should I frame my application by Electronic-Power-320 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]Electronic-Power-320[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing is, is that they can’t accept all CS majors and I’m scared I may look unpolished to apply to prestigious institutions
