<p>Hold on people - I know this kid and indeed he HAS won a full-ride scholarship to Amherst College through Questbridge. Questbridge had 45 full ride matches this year. In fact, he is the 2nd student from his high school in a small town in northern Cal to win a full ride through Questbridge. The girl who won last year (my daughter's best friend) went to Williams. Questbridge indeed matches low-income, gifted kids to colleges who are part of their program. This young man is incredibly gifted and has devoted himself to his schoolwork and deserves this full ride as much or more than anybody. Believe me, there was no lying done about income or academics. Move on people.</p>
