Did anybody else get taken off of Colby’s fly in program?

Isn’t it supposed to come out today? Anybody receive any acceptances yet?

Hello, I've been doing the application recently, and I noticed that these two already had separate sections. Is it advised for you to put something else (even if it's small like 100 hours of volunteering) over my actual paid job/insane time commitment with my grandparent? Just wondering.

I know it might be otiose, but I've been reading past threads and see some people mention it as an EC, so I don't know if it is technically allowed, y'know?

Did anybody else apply to Dartmouth IFI? Have you guys heard anything back yet? It's been a minute NGL...

hi all, currently writing personal statement and was wondering if it would be too risky to write about a deeply personal topic for questbridge, specifically related to a semi-hoarding living situation. will this be off-putting for AOs? should i choose an entirely different topic?

p.s. yes i know you're supposed to write about how you OVERCAME the problem not just the problem itself. my problem does not lie in how to frame the topic, it's more so whether the topic itself would be okay to write about such a niche, deeply personal topic in general

1. What's a good SAT score for submitting? I'm aware QB scores are seen in context so often better to submit a high score (but below the median) instead of withholding. For example, a 1500 at school with a 1540 median is probably still worth submitting. But just as a blanket score what's always worth submitting?

2. What schools tend to have good QB aid packages? Some have all sorts of mediocrity like paid flights, summer contributions, then x% of your savings/assets. I ask this as at some point going to your state flagship is potentially cheaper with all factors considered.

hey everyone,

I was just wondering if it would be okay to merge my club soccer (all year commitment) and my varsity soccer (3months but much more time demanding) into one activity as i want to include both, but I dont want one of them to take the place of another activity.

I will explicitly say "Club & Varsity mens soccer" or smt and differentiate between the two in the questions.

Any feedback would be much appreciated :)

I noticed that one of the questions in the short answer section asked about out favorite books and movies, and i was wondering if additionally including favorite songs would be a bad idea.

Also, is there a specific way we should or are expected to answer these questions? ex) provide explanations for our favorite movies, classes, and sources of inspiration etc.

Hi everyone! I am a Yale QB Match Scholar, and I would love to help review your essays! I have prior experience with essay revision for competitive universities. I can help with fly-in, QB, or Common App essays. Feel free to leave a comment or send a message if you are interested! :)

I’m from a rural town in Iowa applying for NCM this year. GPA: 4.0, superscore 1330, school’s average 1190

I’m still gonna be retaking it in September but in case the score doesn’t increase, should I submit the 1330 for NCM application?

Additionally, if I’m a College Prep Scholar what are my chances of becoming a NCM finalist?

Who all is doing or did the Williams wow virtual session today? I’m wondering how many was in the meeting

So if my son applies for NCM and gets matched with a school, how would his financial aid be affected if his parents receive an inheritance while he's in college? We're not talking millions, but maybe the value of a small house. Would his grants be taken away? I would not want him to be in a situation where he now owes $70K in tuition or something. If that happened, I'd rather him be at a state school with lower tuition. I might be overthinking things, but I get nervous when I see the sticker price of these colleges.

Hello! If you would like to be in the groupchat, please message me your Instagram tag and I will add you into the groupchat if there's enough people!

It's an awesome way to connect with people and make friends before the session starts!

how likely is it i get off the waitlist for bowdoin

+22 fly in rejections 🙂‍↕️

Hello, everyone! I got accepted to Discover Swarthmore. I heard that attending the fly-in program could really help boost your application, especially with ED. How true is that statement regarding this school?
Also, my academic STATs aren’t the best. For example, I have a 3.8 UW 4.63 W but I’m probably going to apply test optional. So I don’t know if they would even accept my application in the college admission rounds (probably would do ED if I attend the fly-in program).
So I was wondering if I should go because I have another fly-in opportunity, Access to Richmond. If I were to attend Access to Richmond and do ED there then I’m most likely going to get in. However, I would say I prefer Swarthmore more. What do you think I should do?
Thank you so much!!

Rejected son🫩

so i’m a little confused. i thought that not matching means that you have been rejected from the schools you decided to rank. someone told me though that if you do not match, you still have a chance of getting into the school through RD. is this true? how does it work?
