I applied for the 2016-2017 Quest Bridge National College Match. The results are being announced tomorrow (October 20, 2016). I am a little anxious, so I emailed Quest Bridge to ask what time they would be announcing the winners. They responded…
"We do not have a set time but will send out the notifications around the afternoon, Pacific time."
Let us know if you won. Also, regardless of your success, what is your basic academic/extracurricular profile?
Include ACT/SAT scores, GPA, sports, volunteer hours, AP/IB/Honors classes, or anything else you found interesting.
Thanks for letting me know because I have been checking all morning.
Will let you know

Where is it listed? Is it on each individual application, or is there a list?

Oh, sorry if that sounded negative. I was actually wondering how he didn’t make it. He seems to be more qualified than me.
@parkj360
If you look at old result threads, there are people with close to perfect GPA and test scores who get rejected. QB is really complicated and take everything in consideration
