<p>Hello,
I am a senior in high school applying to many colleges but only one of them is in the QuestBridge list because I'm not interested in the others since they are so far away. I really need a lot of monetary aid when I'm in college but my top choice is not a QuestBridge partner. Should I still apply if that school is binding? What interests me in applying are the offers you get after and not exactly getting matched to one of those colleges. But this would also mean that I will have to rush my common app which I want to spend more time working on for my top choice.
I also want to apply for Gates Millennium but I'm scared I won't get anything. I know this is in the wrong section but do I need a nominator for it? I already started my application, I'm just missing the essays. Could you please tell me? Last year, many people got nominated for scholarships and I didn't. I don't want this year to be the same.
Thanks!</p>
