Less than 24 hours, get hype!!

Yass! Good luck to everyone!

Good luck!

Good luck everyone! BUT remember that not becoming a finalist is NOT the end of the road. Son has a plan B just in case. If he does not make it, ED 1 to his top school and if that does not work out, ED 2 to his second. Having an alternate plan would take some of the “sting” out of it if he does not make it.

Anyone know what time the results come out? Like, should I wake up expecting an email or check it right before bed?

@Tjuotunes earlies im predicting is 11 am pst and latest is 2 pm pst.

Has anyone heard of people getting their decisions early? My friend was notified by QuestBridge through email that he was a finalist a little while ago…

Like when? Today?

Yeah, he said he got in less than an hour ago. I’m really confused now, hopefully he’s joking or something??

@Carolina6 I highly doubt that. QB doesn’t notify students of finalist status before decision date.

@Carolina6 i’m confident he is pulling your leg. We will all know tomorrow. Post your decisions here!

I’m so nervous. After meeting other people who also applied to QuestBridge, I feel less confident. Many of the people got into the big programs for summer, the Gates Scholarship, and the College Prep Scholar. I, on the other hand, never heard of the summer programs and got rejected from both the Gates and College Prep. I crafted the best t application I could, but I just don’t seem to stand out as much. I’m so anxious.

@momcinco What is your son’s second chance (if you don’t mind me asking)?

@Carolina6 Did you friend show you the email? If not, don’t believe it until you see it.

Coming out of CC retirement to send all of you QB applicants positive vibes today! Good luck, and you still rock even if you don’t become a Finalist! You can still be successful in any path you end up on. <3

@kchen0514 Me too. I am in the same situation. But hopefully we get it

few more hours to go!

Getting more anxious as time gets closer and closer to the decision release.

hey dumb question but how do you check if you are a finalist? do you open up your application? bc i dont see anywhere where it says manage my profile
