<p>What several things are different in the application process? I have contacted the school that I intend to apply early and they have not gotten back to me yet.</p>
<p>And no, I have not decided to participate in the Match so I am eligible to apply early.</p>
<p>Different from what? Do you mean how is NCM (match) different from ED/EA or how is it different applying ED as a QB finalist or do you mean something else entirely?</p>
<p>How is it different applying ED as a finalist? Like how do u forward ur QB app to the college and all that stuff</p>
<p>I think you’re asking about how to forward your QB app to a non-QB school that you are applying ED to. Is that correct? If so, you can’t. Only QB schools get your QB app. You can, however, list that you are a National QB finalist on your Common App/College App. It’s a National award, and non-QB colleges understand that QB finalists are generally at the top of the low-income applicant pool. But they don’t necessarily give you any special consideration and they don’t ever receive your QB application.</p>
<p>No, I am applying to a QB school and want to forward my QB app to a QB school.</p>
<p>And being a finalist is considered an award? I didn’t know you could list being a finalist on the Common App.</p>
<p>You can’t forward your QB app until December 2nd. Because of this you will need to apply ED using the common app…</p>
<p>OP, yes one of the advantages of being a QB finalist besides the fee waivers is the award which is considered a national award, so definitely put it on the CA. This year with the greater # of applicants (13,000), the process was a little more selective and the finalists were ~35% of the applicant pool compared with 47% last year. Unless QB starts to accept more students, the selectivity will increase and the award will become more and more prestigious.</p>
<p>Awesome. Thanks so much. And how do you request to get your application forwarded along with your Common App? Isn’t Dec 2 too late?</p>
<p>Yes, you will need to use the common app for your ED school. You can go on the QB website/login starting December 2nd and forward your app to whatever schools you want to apply to RD.</p>
<p>I meant for ED.</p>
