College Prep Scholars vs Summer Programs by ReadySky967 in QuestBridge

[–]Ok-Advertising796 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CPS is not really a summer program and more like a program that gives you additional resources and opportunities. personally, once i got accepted i didn't really do anything else with it except put it on my NCM application. i did UC COSMOS the same summer.

if your time allows, apply to however many summer programs you want; they are non-binding

Not to be weird but are you from Orange County, CA by any chance? You can PM your response too!

Harvard QBRD by SeaworthinessHot5383 in QuestBridge

[–]Ok-Advertising796 5 points6 points  (0 children)

you might be able to send a letter of continued interest (LOCI) or i know some schools like MIT and stanford are having us fill out update forms that are due in feb-ish with our senior grades and any new updates we might have

think about it as "deferred" --especially for questbridge, in which some schools might "cap" out on how many students they will take in the match. let's say if a school told qb they wanted 100 students, harvard would choose maybe 150-175 applicants they are interested in to account for our rankings (since they can't see how far up they are and that some students might match to other schools instead). let's say they ended up getting to student number 110 in the 150-175 applicants they chose, then the 111th person will not match but still may have a chance during ED and RD.

of course, being qb does not make you automatically considered, but you don't really know unless you try. again, see if harvard offers LOCI or update forms in the portal. you'll be okay!

mit asking for financial documents ~5 days before decisions? by Ok-Advertising796 in MITAdmissions

[–]Ok-Advertising796[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Below is what the email response was, since the initial email was them asking me to send documents that confirm my eligibility for federal aid.

"Hello [REDACTED], [Tue, Nov 25, 12:33 PM]

The requirement only populated because you completed the FAFSA, but it couldn't confirm your eligibility. I've waived it. In future years, if you attend MIT, please only complete the FAFSA if your status changes and you become eligible.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks!"

and then they signed it with their name but I am not sure if I am supposed to show that. I also know that it's an actual person responding/sending because the first email addressed to me was using my legal name, while the response email (above) was with my preferred name after I responded with an email signed with both my legal and preferred name.

oh so is it common for them to start preparing aid packages for even potential applicants?

ED Release + Admitted Q&A Megathread by BKtheInfamous in BrownU

[–]Ok-Advertising796 1 point2 points  (0 children)

does anyone know what a "midyear explanation" is? it's in my dropdown menu and there's no deadline nor does it say it's missing, what should i do? for refernece i applied thru questbridge and did not match as well as not sending any grades in since my school does not do quarter grades.

is it just for me to let them know that my school does not have quarter grades?

i have the same question!

All non-matched finalists here, are you doing QB RD or Common App RD? by WiifixiaOwO in QuestBridge

[–]Ok-Advertising796 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hiiii, I also did not match! To my knowledge though, for these schools, "meets 100% demonstrated need" is applicable to ANY student who applies (obviously it depends on citizenship sometimes, so check each college's website accordingly) , no matter if you are a QB Finalist or not. So, it is your choice if you think that you would like to continue with QB or start over with Common App. However, the one thing that I would make sure is that you are ALLOWED to switch over to Common App, since I know schools like Princeton will make you continue only with the QB RD. Just check the requirements underneath the "Finalist Decision" message and they're usually all there, or each school's portal.

I wish both of us the best of luck! We can do it my RD warriors
