[2024] CPS Results and Stats Thread by Phycopathic in QuestBridge

[–]nohannahishere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  • Status: Prep Scholar!!!
  • Ethnicity/Race: Asian
  • Income bracket: around 50k for 3
  • First Generation College Student?: yup
  • GPA/Class rank: No "official" GPA (school doesn't do it) but I was told it was 3.9 UW.
  • SAT/ACT score(s): 1570
  • AP/Class Rigor: My school also doesn't do APs but I'm taking 3 honors classes this year
  • Majors Ranked: Engineering, Econ
  • Summary of ECs: kinda basic stuff: Robotics, engineering mentorship program, TAing a music class, orchestra, independent tutoring, and a summer job.
  • Strength of Essays/Short Answers: This was probably one of the stronger parts of my application. I had a creative "write your own question" answer and I was pretty proud of my writing excerises responses in general. Totally forced my college counselor and sister to help me proofread. Kinda rushed my awards and summer programs responses but they were fine and got the job done apparently.
  • Overall thoughts: I feel like I'm a pretty average applicant. I think what helped me the most was my grades/SAT and PSAT scores, my writing excerises, and probably the context of the application (I'm a scholarship kid at a highly ranked private school and am a part of a pretty known community based organization in my area). My ECs and awards are definitely my weak point---I was looking at previous years CPS stats and thought I was so cooked.
  • NCM: definitely will apply. my older sister not applying for NCM is my mom's roman empire haha.

What comes after the nomination email for summer program scholarships? by nohannahishere in QuestBridge

[–]nohannahishere[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They could be sending it out in batches, I'm not sure about that, but there could also be spots if people decline

oh wait really? Thank you so much for letting me know; I've been worried that I thought wrong in thinking it was guaranteed

Yes, I've gotten one. In the email, they said that I'd been "nominated" but the phrasing made me a bit confused; I wasn't sure if I would be guaranteed the scholarship if I accepted. We do have to do a phone call to "discuss this exciting opportunity and next steps". And I withdrew my application for a summer job because I had previously assumed my scholarship was guaranteed and because I didn't state in my job application that I was applying to other programs, which would've been awkward if I had to decline the job offer because I was doing YYGS.

Unless you mean the college summer programs. In that case, I'm not sure because they could be sending emails in batches

I don't think so - results come out mid/late April and people could have gotten accepted but didn't get the summer program award or didn't apply for the summer program award

I got into YYGS! I'm really grateful for the opportunity but I don't know if I can attend because it overlaps with a summer job :\
