    Hey there. I wanted to say that I'm so proud of you for getting but. Absolutely goated man ❤🔥🌲 I have just gotten accepted to Stanford's class of 2029 through the match as well. If I get to meet you on campus soon, I'd be elated to have a great chat with you over how your experience was! Feeling super excited for what's to come.

    Thanks, man. These videos have really been helping me out now that I am applying for the NCM. It's nice how down-to-earth you are. I see some people have a 1.5 million dollar business when applying to uni and its relieving knowing that places like Stanford don't need something like that. I did quite a few extracurriculars, but they haven't really been ongoing for that long since I ended up transferring schools my sophomore year so it was hard to get a lot of multi-year ECs. I listed these 5: Robotics Club president, National Honor Society Vice-president, Columbia University Science Honors Program, HK Maker Lab at Columbia University, and CUNY STEM Research Academy. One of these was only for the summer, the HK Maker Lab. The CUNY STEM Research Academy was also only for 1 year. I'm hoping colleges don't tax me for not having them be ongoing or for that long. Let me know if you also have any tips for the rankings. I'm not sure how I should go about ranking because I am very low-income so the match scholarship is really tantalizing. I'm tempted to just list a lot of colleges, although I know its not what I should do. I have very competitive stats, but I know that you also need some luck when applying.

If I am not ranked as a Matched Finalist and thus apply through Questbridge Regular Decision, is there enough time after the "unmatched" notification for me to fill out everything on the CommonApp? I'm worried about matters such as adding my recommendations to the CommonApp (if that's even required). Additionally, am I supposed to put all of my info on the CommonApp the same as it is on my QuestBridge app (personal statememnt, activity descriptions, etc)? Thank you!!

    Alex, if you apply for a QuestBridge National Match to a particular school and don't get selected during the Match process, are you able to apply to that same school during the QuestBridge's Regular Decision process? If you are able to apply to a non-matched school in the QBRD period, does not getting selected by during the Match process indicate that you will probably get rejected during the Regular Decision Process. Thanks for your wonderful videos!

    • @AlexAlvaradoB
      @AlexAlvaradoB ปีที่แล้ว

      1. It depends on the school and its response to your application. If you are outright rejected then of course you cannot apply again. Otherwise, a school can defer your application (automatically pushing your application to be considered in the regular decision pool). 2. That is difficult to answer. If the school did not reject you outright then it means you are a competitive applicant that they think still has a shot in the regular decision pool. That being said there is no way great way of gauging your chances.
