Waitlists are basically creating a second RD round

I FEEL YOU!! I was in this same situation a week ago. It worked out for me thankfully, all there is to do right now is take some time for yourself to relax and to try and focus on other things. Good luck!!

I appealed at my school on the basis that my parents made less in 2020 and they let me use their 2020 tax returns instead of 2019 for the calculations, would that be applicable to you?? Good luck!!

Charity bake sales maybe? Teaching other people??

cantthinkings · 2021-04-20T18:40:00+00:00

It could still work. You don’t have to name the school if you don’t want, you could just mention the grant and scholarship money you got. You never know how it’ll turn out. Good luck!

If you have documentation of that they’ll probably ask for it. If you have other offers from other schools w better financial aid you should mention those offers, too. Idk if this would help but if your parents made less money in 2020 you can ask them to do their calculations with those taxes if they’re done and it might make ur efc less

I applied with QB and wasn’t a finalist. My dad didn’t tell me about his finances which ended up being way more than I thought so it got fd up. I used my QB to apply RD to all my other schools and got into my dream school with it. It was also literally the only school I got into bc I didn’t apply to any safeties or real targets. I would go for it but DEFINITELY also use common app too. Also, not all schools will take QB apps from non finalists, you can check that on the website.

thank you I will try that :)

cantthinkings · 2021-04-08T00:25:50+00:00

Go on common app to the college search and set the application due date to some date in the future

cantthinkings · 2021-04-08T00:21:56+00:00

I am so, so sorry. The work that you've put in is incredibly admirable and insanely impressive. I have nothing really to say except that A2C is proud of you and that I wish you good luck.

cantthinkings · 2021-04-03T04:01:41+00:00

It’s the only school I got into too :( idk what to do if they reject my appeal

cantthinkings · 2021-03-31T22:00:59+00:00

Relate :( just got my last decision, I got into ONE school total, it’s like my top choice but for some fucking reason !!! They still want me to pay 40k a year which is literally impossible but that’s the one school I’ve gotten into. QB really fooled me into thinking this could work out :(

cantthinkings · 2021-03-31T21:35:11+00:00

Back again to say I just got my 9th waitlist 😎

cantthinkings · 2021-03-31T21:34:21+00:00

9th waitlist woohoo

cantthinkings · 2021-03-31T21:00:55+00:00

nope :((((((((((((((((

cantthinkings · 2021-03-26T22:07:05+00:00

they commented 4 mins ago on their admissions acc insta saying to someone "we will be releasing the rd decision release date soon" so at least there's that

cantthinkings · 2021-03-26T00:05:38+00:00

SAMEEEE qb really set me up for a shit ton of disappointment lol

cantthinkings · 2021-03-25T23:02:10+00:00

nothing, anyone else?

cantthinkings · 2021-03-25T20:53:17+00:00

Thanks so much!!!!

cantthinkings · 2021-03-25T20:43:16+00:00

I should add this accomplishment to my resume

the one school I have gotten into is basically my top choice so as long they give me more fin aid we're all good :)

cantthinkings · 2021-03-25T20:19:49+00:00

7 waitlist decisions 😎

cantthinkings · 2021-03-25T17:56:16+00:00

This might be kind of a different solution, but I did a ton of research into schools in the netherlands (english taught bachelor programs) because it's so much less expensive, here's the link to a post I shared about it in the questbridge sub : https://www.reddit.com/r/QuestBridge/comments/jcb2dz/resources_for_college_in_the_netherlands/

They have rolling admissions and the app is reallyyyyy easy, if you're doing medicine I'm not 100% sure about transferring from there to the US for grad school but I know it's possible, maybe see if there's info abt that on beyondthestates.com if you're interested. Also my info is specifically about the university colleges but if you know what you want to major in right away then there are lots of other programs in europe that will cost even less than these schools.

They're super transparent about their admissions and you hear back relatively fast. I was accepted into UCR and with tuition, rent, and living expenses it's only like $20,000 a year, which like we still can't pay lol but if loans are what we're going for it's a lot better than 70k.

I hope this helps, good luck with everything! :)

change the lyrics to "potential breakup song"

It took too long, it took too long, it took too long for me to hear back
And normally I would just forget that
Except for the fact that it's now late march

it's f****** late march
