I posted H because I believe you can still submit the Qb app to non QB app during Rd round.

<p>Er, I believe you can submit the QB app to the QB partners in the RD round -- not to schools that are non-QB partners (why in the world would other colleges just accept the QB app?).</p>

<p>You obviously have a very strong app, though being Asian is going to hurt your chances, especially through QB -- only 9% of those matched are Asian. I'd say YP are reaches, though you do have a shot. Good luck.</p>

<p>Well I know obtaining a match is hard. I think 9 people were matched to Princeton last year but about 55 were accepted RD.</p>

23

<p>Of course getting into HYPS is hard, no matter who you are. But, due to extreme and compelling and unique circumstances, I would say his chances are significantly higher than a normal white middle-upper class applicant.</p>

<p>Any more comments? Can someone read my essay?</p>

25

<p>I can take a look at it I guess. But, English is not my speciality, so you would be better off sending it someone else.</p>

<p>Bump Bump!</p>

<p>why do u even need quest bridge, if u get into harvard? i think for incomes less than 50k all tuition are covered at most ivys.</p>

<p>BUMP BUMP.
Qb raises the chances of getting accepted.
and im not getting into harvard lols.</p>

<p>Some like to think that QB raises your chances of being accepted. I don't think so. Those who aren't URMs are generally matched at a lower rate than others. Of the ~1600 finalists last year, only ~100 were matched, for a 6% match rate. The RD round is much better, but I don't think it's really because of QB -- more that the students are already very strong + a large number of them are URMs, and they'd probably have gotten in without QB.</p>

<p>match rate is sooo low because according to amherst (this may vary depending on the college but i doubt it) your parent contribution must be ZERO after the financial aid office evaluate the app. Amherst couldn't even match kids who's parents could only contribute 200 dollars last year. </p>

<p>I think THAT really narrows the list because I doubt my parent contribution is zero. I already did my app so I just turned it in anyways :P</p>

<p>rutgers...stop posting here</p>

<p>u obviously dont know what youre talking about</p>

32

<p>where is the calculator for evaluating the finacial contribution?</p>

33

<p>my mom;s income was 13,000 last year and will be 24,000 this year.</p>

<p>any comments on chances.</p>

<p>I dont even expect to get in through the match process but what about the regular decision round?</p>

<p>Am i aiming too high?</p>

<p>Well, according to the income stats, that isn't true.</p>
