Does Questbridge Finalist Status help?

Applying to College
1

<p>So I was just wondering that if I was a Questbridge Finalist and applied through Questbridge to USC but not matched, will the fact that I was a finalist help boosts my applications a lot? Or does it not really effect it at all? </p>

<p>Stats:
UW GPA: 3.94 W GPA: 4.29
ACT: superscore: 31; individually, I got a 30 and a 29 </p>

<p>EC:
Link Crew (leadership)
School Site Council (student government)
NJROTC Honor Guard, Color Guard, Drill Team, Physical Fitness Team (Recognition in all of them)
Three clubs (VP of one of them)
Varsity Tennis
Unpaid Accounting/data analysis internship
300+ volunteer hours at local hospital
250 hours for a summer program for the city</p>

<p>Awards:
AP scholar
President's Volunteer Service award
Company commander of NJROTC
Questbridge Finalist </p>

<p>Thank you so much!! I know admissions come out in just a couple of days, but I'm really anxious!</p>

<p>Yes, it would help, but nobody can say to what extent. The QuestBridge subforum discusses this a lot; I see that you reposted this there, but it’d be a good idea to do a search of that subforum, and you’ll find a lot of useful info.</p>
