<p>This is a new thread for discussion and information about the QuestBridge College Prep Scholarship program for 2009. </p>
<p>Thanks tokenadult :)</p>
<p>I guess I will say this preemptively…I would highly recommend applying to the College Prep Scholarship. </p>
<p>Benefits:</p>
<p>1) The admissions panels are amazing (well at least the Yale one was; I’m sure Stanford was too) Even if this is the only thing you get, it will still be a leg up if you plan on doing the National College Match</p>
<p>2) Apply for as many as you want - why not spread your net wide?</p>
<p>3) Don’t submit your application too early. Make sure you proofread!</p>
<p>4) Don’t stress too much if you don’t get anything. You can still match with a Questbridge school, get into great colleges, etc. It may mean, however, that there was something in your application that you should work on: GPA, SAT, rank, essay, etc.</p>
<p>5) I’m going to say about a quarter of the posts in this thread (or not?) are going to be along the lines of “my parents own $XXX and have two mortgages do i qualify omg?”</p>
<p>The simplest answer is: look at the income qualifications on the Questbridge website. Your income can be high and still receive an acceptance IF you have other circumstances that would limit your family’s ability to pay for college (i.e. very big household, mounting medical costs, etc.)</p>
<p>Good luck everyone!</p>
<p>Cool! Thanks!
I’m applying to this scholarship. Due March 31st, 10 more days ah.
Does my teacher submit his rec individually online?
And do I need to fax SAT/ACT/PSAT/transcripts at school office before the 31st?
Thanks</p>
<p>a few questions…</p>
<p>are the summer school awards basically reserved for the top applicants?</p>
<p>anyone have statistics for the college prep scholarship? i.e how selective is it?</p>
<p>i have a question…
i put my counselor down as my recommender, but realized the day before yesterday that i should have put one of my core teachers…I want to change that, but can not find the place to do so on my application or anywhere in the my locker place…i e-mailed questbridge, but the have not answered yet, does anyone know how i can change my recommender??</p>
<p>bump!! i still have not received an e-mail back from them yet! should i e-mail them again??</p>
<p>They take a few days to reply especially when the deadline’s near.</p>
<p>Just got an email from QB updating award choices.</p>
<pre><code>* Emory University Pre-College Program: 2-week course of study in a subject of your choice, ranging from Modern Dance to Neurology
- University of Pennsylvania Leadership in the Business World (LBW): 4-week program sponsored by the Wharton School on the skills necessary to lead organizations in a global market

</code></pre>
<p>Doesn’t seem like they’ve updated the application yet.</p>
<p>If your teacher writes your recommendation and faxes it, how many pages should it display in “Pages Received” box in the my locker page at the bottom?</p>
<p>As a QuestBridge College Prep Scholarship and QuestBridge College Match Scholarship recipient, I am wishing all of you the best for this spring scholarship. It’s an amazing program, and I hope you work diligently to thoroughly complete the application by the deadline. If anyone has any questions (not pertaining to general information that can be found on QB’s website), I would be more than happy to answer.</p>
<p>Cheers,</p>
<p>Sligh</p>
<p>I’m a tiny bit jealous that you guys can apply to the Penn programs :)</p>
<p>is it ok if i filled out the survey for those Penn programs, even though my app is still in progress?</p>
<p>hmm this thread isn’t too active. who else is applying for this?

I know it’s tomorrow March 31st, but is it midnight EST or Pacific time or what? Thanks!</p>

<p>So…congratulations everyone. May I ask where everyone is from?</p>

<p>Went to sleep at 7pm yesterday and woke up at 2:30 to work on my 3rd short answer :). Barely made it, but it’s all over now. Does anybody know when they send out awards?</p>
<p>hey does anyone know when they contact the winners</p>
