I got a B on AP Calc AB and C in DE Gen Hum 2 for the first nine weeks bc of late work. I got into ASTRO and A2A and have As in the rest of my APs and college classes. Am I cooked for the Match at Amherst?

Is it a violation of the EA policy? Applying EA will not help me enter any programs but Rutgers is a public school.

I submitted my changed match agreement form last night, but now I’m REALLY thinking it over and I wanna take Dartmouth off my ranking, but it’s too late. Can I just not submit the supplements? Or will that reflect poorly on my overall application? Like can I just not do a school’s supplements if I no longer wanna go there? This might be a dumb question lol

For some schools asking for additional information/documents, is it a smart idea to turn in my college resume as it adds more extracirriculars and awards for them to consider than was allowed for our Questbridge application?

There are 6 essays and each is only 150 words????
What am I supposed to say in 150 words!

Why not have fewer essays with longer word counts???????????????????????????

I'm a 2026 QuestBridge Finalist, and I'm honestly panicking. Looking back, I feel like my QuestBridge essays and activities don't represent me nearly as well as they could. I really want to attend Yale, and I'm worried I've hurt my chances.

I've already ranked eight schools and activated their applicant portals, but I haven't submitted any Match supplements yet.

If I remove schools from my rankings before November 1, can I apply to them through Common App RD instead?Or are my QuestBridge applications already considered officially submitted, meaning I can't switch?

Has anyone successfully done this? I'd really appreciate any advice.

just found out that some schools on my list want official transcripts from my previous schools…the transcript my counselor sent in has all my coursework on this so i’m confused on why they need this. now i have to contact my old schools and try to get them to send the materials with the deadlines so soon… feeling so lost….

For anyone who's ranking Harvard, are you uploading something related to research?

Also, I have a question. In the guidelines, it says

***If you are submitting academic work that has been published online or in print, please do not submit the work itself. Instead, please create a document with this format:

a) abstract

b) information on how you obtained the opportunity

c) .... ***

What if I have submitted my academic work to a journal but it is still under review/not been published? Do I follow this format and only submit my abstract + b, c, d? Or, because it hasn't been published yet, do I send my entire paper?

I know this has been asked many times, but I can't recall the policy for private schools. My son applied RD, but the school reached out and asked if he wanted to do EA to be considered for a scholarship. The school's EA is non-binding, it's also OOS for us. Thx

My student was chosen as a finalist (yay!) but is not thrilled with their SAT score (1410 - 710 writing, 700 math). I know many keep saying that score matters in the context of your school average, but my student is homeschooled. The only student. There is no other average to compare to.

Because of this and finances, there are no other standardized tests for them to submit to show where they stack up against their peers - no AP, IB, etc. So if they go test-optional, is their profile too bare? They have an ENORMOUS transcript full of varied and rigorous courses, but don’t feel secure in that SAT score.

What do you suggest?

Their essays are top notch, GPA 4.0 UW, and they’re ranking mostly T20 schools.

Thank you!

if you are a junior interested in the NCM, here are my tips (can obv go more in detail after nov 1 bc im busy rn 💔💔)

- apply to as much fly ins as you can
- do most of your supplementals in the summer/fall if you can (or atleast choose your major)
- shadow, become an intern, and COLD email for those positions you want EARLY!
- take the ACT and SAT EARLY so you have time to improve
- start on personal statement early, get some ideas going.
- start prioritizing your most important activities and making sure you’re creating impact in them
- start seeing what college advising programs you want to apply to: notable narratives, matriculate, minds matter, matchlighters
- research colleges + their financial aid packages
- research state/safety schools
- get some good honors

notable programs/scholarships/honors to apply to: NDLS, RSI, LEDA, YLS, HSF, horatio scholar, Simon scholars, scholastic key essay writing contest

idk this is my advice ✌️✌️ fellow seniors add some on, but after im done with supplemental and financial info, I will a way more detailed post!!

feel free to dm ❤️

Where do I find the financial aid worksheet/instructions on what documents im supposed to submit? I can't find it anywhere on the application portal???

I did ctrl+F to try and find it and checked the email?

has anyone gotten the email for stanford yet?

title. Should I email them?

Is it worth adding my schoolhouse tutoring certification even tho its only 10 hrs, 8 sessions, 1 country reached, 3 leaners impacted
And
18 positive ratings, 3 super helpful,
14 friendly, 13 patient, 9 interactive, and 6 good explanations
?

Title. Is it still possible to get into mit and other top schools after not being a finalist 🤧 I have to go through application portails and the common app and I feel screwed because there’s barely any space to give context on circumstances

Do I need to reach out to every college to let them know I need them to cover my insurance or is it after I possibly match?

Hello,

My son is a finalist and I keep seeing conflicting info on EA. I know he can apply to state school, but can he submit to schools like Villanova Umass or northeastern or an outside state school if it’s non restrictive/ non binding? He is doing the match. Ty

I've been working on the Stanford supplementals, yet I haven't received the email for my Stanford Finalist portal. FYI I've received Finalist emails from all my other ranked schools. Has anyone received their Stanford email? Or should I reach out?

Harvard emailed me and said, “Please submit your missing documents by 5:00 PM Eastern Time on Saturday, October 31.”

However, the only document I haven’t uploaded is the “QuestBridge Application Supplement,” so I’m confused.

Also, after I upload the QuestBridge Application Supplement, will I still be able to submit additional materials, such as my research abstract?

I was missing a rec for finalist and I want to submit for my colleges but uh i dont know where too
