<p>Since I’ve been doing my own research, based on everything I’ve read, you might not have that much chances of being matched. I base this conclusion on your income, it is kind of high. Still, applying is still worth it since if you become a finalist, which 50% of the applicants do, you get waivers to basically all the partner colleges!</p>

Thanks! So what chance do you think I have at being a finalist? I think my other part of the question (that I implied xD srry) is what chances do I have at getting into the colleges partnered with Questbridge?</p>

<p>That being said, are there any senior members who went through this process and can help me out a little bit? Thank you again!</p>

<p>sponge, what do you reckon is your EFC? do you have any savings? what is the savings of your parents?</p>

<p>you can definitely get into one of their partner colleges. it all depends. Perhaps not your top choice, but you have chances. More or less 25% of the applicants, or 50% of the finalists, get accepted to at least one of QB partner schools. Still, I believe your aid won’t be as generous as the other 30k-40k income student.</p>

<p>@roderick, I’m mistaken actually. My income is around 53k with no family ownership or assets so my efc is 0. Thanks!</p>

<p>@calipretty3, thanks so much!</p>
