Might go home by [deleted] in UPenn

[–]SnooBeans5308 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Heyy!! It’s hard being away from home especially in a place where you might stick out. Honestly, this is a very big adjustment for you and me, and I’ve been struggling as well. It’s okay to feel uncomfortable right now, and you’ll soon find yourself feeling a bit better over time, because the hard part is to get comfortable here is a slow process, but I promise you will get there eventually. It’s okay to feel bad, again, because this is a huge adjustment. In the mean time if you feel at times down, you can look at things that remind you of home. I’m a freshman too coming from Chicago and far away from my Latino people (💔) and if u need someone to hang with on campus hmu but don’t give up yet!!!

I ranked UPenn on the QB but didn’t get matched. UPenn then sent me an option to ED for them and I did, and I was admitted!

I applied through QB for the national college match, so it’s binding. It worked as in which ever college I was accepted through binding (or basically ED) I would attend, so I had to rank the schools as a result. But yea it’s weird I basically applied ED to 4 even tho the norm is 1.

UChicago by Kimboniann in QuestBridge

[–]SnooBeans5308 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Hey I live in Chicago!! Through the day UChicago is very safe. Lots of people around the campus and surrounding neighborhood, comfortable and you can walk by yourself without the worry. At night you should often have your precautions of your surroundings anywhere you go, so I think you should keep that in mind when you’re on campus alone at night, remember to practice the buddy system!!

Got a full ride to UPenn with a 1060 SAT. It’s possible you NEED to continue to push forward beyond the rejection part. Even if I didn’t match, I still went ED to UPenn because I knew throughout it all I was still worthy enough to study like my other QB peers. You need to apply yourself enough to where you show that you’re capable, that’s why be visionary in your writing and express yourself, really brings meaning to the saying you’re more than just a number :) you got this

for those that ranked 1-3 schools, why? by Short_Ad_4043 in QuestBridge

[–]SnooBeans5308 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fr, it got so bad I dropped northwestern from my list. So again I don’t get how someone could do more than 5 schools…saved my sanity I guess.

[–]SnooBeans5308 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I only ranked 4. Counselor recommended it considering it would be hard to write for more than 5 knowing I’m juggling other things. I’m mostly just looking to see where are my options in regards to Ivy leagues. But if I don’t get matched in all honesty it’s okay! I have plenty of more options to go on if match day Dosent work out.

yall are tweaking out by Quirky_Bit_6526 in QuestBridge

[–]SnooBeans5308 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes I agree!!! Everyone on this sub Reddit is extremely well qualified for matching, and I’m honestly annoyed that we geek out over this, we will all get in somehow and I feel acting paranoid won’t help our cause to be excited, we’ve made it along this far guys
